Yeah I don't disagree. Corporations shouldn't exist imo, but they do and if you don't want to host your own things then we have to work with them.
Or with cooperatives. Cooperatives are a good alternative to corporations.
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
Take a look at meshtastic, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meshtastic
Not exactly what you are talking about but it's a local tech solution for communication
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.
