:TwinPines: Worker-Owned News Outlets Are Changing the Media Industry

"Many employee-owned media companies also take little or no money from advertisers. For instance, in 2023, Morning Brew reported that Defector got 95 percent of its revenue from subscribers during its first year..."

We also have extensive connections with tech co-ops around the world so pretty much anything you can imagine can be built and maintained as entirely outside of the surveillance capitalist system as possible.

We can't always offer as cheap prices as the megacorps but I'm sure you know why that is.

We what can offer is a sustainable alternative sector with thousands of highly skilled workers.

No CEOs, no surveillance, no venture capital. No bullshit.

#workercoops are a vital part of us organising towards a better world based on solidarity not profit.

Boycott and divest from the big U.S. tech monopolies.

Autonomic can help. We offer managed hosting and support for open source infrastructure that can be hosted around the world.

From a mainstream provider in Germany, a privacy focussed provider in Iceland to a Worker Co-op provider in the UK, or something physically in your local space. Your server infrastructure can live in a safe place.

Under the looming christo-fascist regime run by deranged puritans who are into plantations, slavery & oppression, jobs are going to suck. Worker rights are going to be eliminated.

People who want a decent way to earn a living will need to avoid right wing employers like the plague, and be self employed or create worker co-ops.

@ajsadauskas @cohentheblue @LibertyForward1 @theropologist Consumer #coops violate #WorkersRights in the same way as #capitalist firms. Worker can't alienate their responsibility for production to consumers any more than they can to capitalists. #WorkerCoops are the only valid firm structure.

Another thing the left should have advocated is collective ownership of property in ways that are compatible with markets such as 100% land value taxes and common ownership self-assessed taxes

Hey Fedizens, just to let you know that we have capacity for tech work in the next six months.

Here’s an extensive list of our skills: autonomic.zone/services/

In short, we do open source infrastructure, websites and support. Everything from Wordpress front end to supporting a whole office of Linux clients.

Some of the shiny new things we have been playing with recently include static sites (using Payload CMS for a slick user content creation experience), Passkeys (passwordless login with a hardware token or phone) and continuing to deploy applications using @coopcloud

If you think of anything you might need or have any existing frustrating tech problems you’d like to solve. Feel free to get in touch: boop @ autonomic . zone

Maybe we can make something great happen.
