Neuromatch.social is a cooperatively governed instance that is operated with shared control over financial, labor, and structural decisions. Membership is not passive - members that make use of the instance are expected to make contributions to running the instance according to their ability and the need of the instance.
Overview
Most of the everyday work of the instance is done by working groups, but their structure and the rest of the operations of the instance are decided by the membership. Changes to the instance are made with #Proposals.
