Loomio is a better way to organize d@w groups than Facebook

JR John Rhoads Public Seen by 388

FB is this highly commercialized and non-specific/generic platform that to me is good for new information gathering/dissemination and news but not for what to do with that information after we have it. Posting tends to be more about idle curiosity than serious discussion that actually leads somewhere. I would like to put this forth as a discussion topic because I support migrating away from FB groups except for keeping up external appearances, disseminating information and recruiting. Loomio can be an adjunct to FB perhaps. I know I am going to move to get Phoenix group here for meeting administration. From what I see here with Loomio, a more serious and meaningful space is available which is obviously more geared for focused decision making and consensus. I think Loomio fits what d@w groups do internally more than FB. Nonetheless, information dissemination on FB is very valuable.

I'm mostly here to disrupt minds and offer alternative paths forward from models that look very different than what currently exists in the world today. Abstaining to see how others respond. Keep moving forward as you 'feel' is best. #LEARNthruTEST

@mariamania Yes indeed and will also help determine if Loomio will live or die (or somewhere in between) as a tool for us.

Here is a very economically relevant video about FB that I would like to share. Michel Bauwens, the author of the video, calls it "netarchical capitalism". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FusKyeg9lik

We see this type of structure with Twitter and how the sale of Twitter to the public is becoming a hot topic. I'm of the opinion that we are on the brink of some pretty big changes coming sooner than later.
