Can't help thinking about the possibility of creating a non-profit that provides a proper web presence to community groups and small non-profits.
We'd offer a website with social functionality (events, signups, etc..), email newsletter sending, etc.. This wouldn't be a lot of custom work. Just reuse and redeploy the same tech over and dover again using different themes and assets.
People would fund this non-profit because they don't want FB to continue its stranglehold on society, which happens in part because orgs use FB Pages instead of regular web solutions because it's easier.

There are 6 #repaircafe for 13 Million people in the LA/ OC area. I love that these exist but I wish there were so many more.
Also there is some irony in the tech choices for these orgs: lots of FB pages, Insta, etc.. I understand how they got there, but it's painful to witness.
