Best I can figure it, corporations will continue to monopolize, they may also 'crash the economy', destroy sectors and ive not seen one government that would be on our side. So what talk ive seen about worker coops, alternative hubs, networks, infrastructures should ideally be my focus in 2026. Who to trade with, partner with, create with, where to host or be hosted etc. You too?

Problem:
Netflix and other US vcap-backed and operated streamers dominate more and more of UK national broadcasting and music culture. UK-US trade deal has ruled out a levy.

Solution:
Establish a UK national streaming platform co-operative, owned by the viewer/listeners, the independent producers and creators, the workers of the co-operative and the UK government, who own a stake that is effectively match-funding for membership fees.

Here, I'll start a thread on the things I am learning about starting worker's coops in the U.S.

The US Federation of Worker Cooperatives has a startup clinic, next one is Jan 7 2026.

Currently enjoying the sunset in #Barcelona from the rooftop of Cireres, a building built and owned by @sostrecivic, also thanks to a loan by Fiare Banca Etica.

(Housing) cooperatives will save the world! 💕

Hi folks,

@coopcloud community members made a new Matrix channel for folks looking to start new tech co-ops. Soon to be a Matrix space.

Feel free to come say hi:
https://matrix.to/#/%23techcoop:autonomic.zone

Autonomic gets a lot of people asking if we need new members. We're going to direct them here now to see if they can find networks online to approach starting their own co-ops.
