      Cooperatives are still a corporation, but the ownership is distributed more than the CEO style corporation we are used to.

        Are there any 501c3’s out there that I can host with? That would be the dream. Unless I guess buying into a cooperative of those exist

          I think the point above currently we are relying on mega corps data centers and there is not practical way to replace that right now or in the near future.

          With that being said, every household could theoretically have a small sever and we all can create clusters to support local needs needs with out having to pay the toll to the parasite.

          Today’s self hosting pinoneers could be the back bone of future decentralized internet.

          A membership cooperative isn’t a bad idea I suppose for a cloud service. I think having users vote on the administration of a service could get hard to work with though unless the vote was to delegate it out.
