someone buy a mall with me so we can turn it into this amazing commit resource center with counseling, career counseling, shelter for homeless/houseless people, legal aid, etc etc etc

maybe even a community garden in the vast amount of parking spaces

@gingerrroot I've got a location, just working on finishing out the contracts before going public.

It's an old hardware store on the main street of a nearly-dead town, so if I bring in a dozen people, we can functionally own the entire town, making it possible to rapidly expand, and the local food pantry has offered meals to all my people, and I have buy-in from multiple local farming co-ops.

This is happening.

@eryn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this makes my heart so happy and i'm so thankful that it's being done somewhere. if i'm ever in your area, i would be happy to help

@gingerrroot network of independant co-ops for the win!

I'm 100% on board with resource sharing, and we've got a full height server rack for the backend crap, and a multi-gigabit fibre backbone going in sometime later this summer.

Talk to @woozle she is helping coordinate. I've gotta keep focused so I'm closing Mastodon but...stay strong, we've won, they just don't know it yet.

@eryn @woozle @gingerrroot any chance you'd like to host some web services? I'd love to give money to a co-op hosting company.
