I check more often than not if they’re a co-op.

I dislike parasitic capitalists with ill-gotten wealth expanding it.

I mean there are further reasons like:

“I will only purchase things where the laborers are contractually obligated to some or all share of the profits”

I’d never pirate a product from a worker co-op, charity, or artisan but everything else is fair game in my opinion.

Many people genuinely give up at the “pick an instance” stage.

Part of it is a slight failing for not blasting “if you join any of these instances you can respond to posts on any of these imstances’ communities” but also the level of tech literacy has fallen off of a cliff post-smartphone world.

Bolstering technology literacy (I’m talking simple things like: what is a file browser, where do things you download go by default, what are some common file types for music/videos/applications) need to be added to public education because there’s clearly a decline happening here that will have downstream ramifications.
