I have tried to find this myself or find a COOP website(s) that can help me find such a website, but cannot.

Do anyone know of any COOP Websites for Internet Communications, like Message Boards?

…I do not know if anyone else noticed this (or maybe, I am just heard it wrong) that the hero, his family & poorest people live in what they kept calling COOP community?

If I just miss-heard, then go ahead & inform me of my error, enough people prove it to me, than I will delete this & then you should ignore this threadThat was one of the only things I hated about this remake, so much better than the original.

I hate that they painting The COOP community living would be so bad, without any explanation why!

Plus why does everyone, including hero & family, want to get out of The COOP communities?

Inspired by coSocial, data.coop, ukrudt.net and deuxfleurs.fr, we're making a nationwide non-profit association in Norway to provide members with the digital services you rely on every day, under your democratic control 🎉

Mondragon, United Steel Workers, and the Ohio Employee Ownership Center wrote a larger document detailing this concept here.

I'm curious about whether you guys are reading any book or have found any resource about managing a coop, why they fail etc

I'm mostly thinking of worker coops or mixed worker/consumer coops

After one-too-many "Buy <different hierarchical business/corporation suggestion>" posts and struggling to look up resources for my own needs, I figured there might be use (and an audience) for a hub for people to go to and collect resources at.

I considered just posing questions here but, while definitely a sub-topic, this sublemmy seems more expansive than my more limited scope (which, obviously, is also a good thing); just wanted to share here as, like I mentioned, there's obviously overlap.

Also, the original thing that kicked me to finally make this is I wanted to make and order stickers for a design I had; I could, of course, use something like Zazzle but that felt like a less good decision. Feel free to let me know if there's anything cooperatively owned out there, possibly.
