Wow! What a year it has been. We are coming up on the first year of CoSocial. Auto-renewal for your membership will take place soon, from Open Collective*, at the beginning of the month of your CoSo-anniversary.
For some, that will be March 1st.
We believe that, since launch, we’ve offered a reliable, responsive, and safe Fediverse environment for our members at an affordable price, and we believe we can keep this service going for the long haul.
Over the past year, your support has been instrumental in achieving significant milestones.
With your help, we successfully launched our instance, building the community and conversations. In recent months, we have experimented with offering different services Members forum, design challenge to develop our new logo.
In the coming year, we will continue to work on the directions from our AGM: create a thriving community, develop and launch member-ready services and working groups (Castopod working group), collaborate with organizations like IFTAS on trust and safety tools, for example on moderating transphobic content.
We hope you can continue your involvement - if you are new to the Members Forum, look around for a working group to share, build, do. Your expertise and input are essential as we continue to grow and improve our services.
If you have any questions or would like to make changes to your membership, leave a comment here in the forum (members only discussion) or post on Mastodon with #CoSocialCa.
Thank you for being a part of building CoSocial. Together, we’ve made it to year one, and look forward to many more achievements in the coming year.
*Open Collective: We use Open Collective for member billing. It’s not perfect for some member billing things, including that it doesn’t send any reminders on monthly or annual recurring billing. We’ve written up how to change or cancel membership here. If a billing goes through that you didn’t intend to, not a problem – we can reverse it.
