I'm coming to the conclusion that community-owned and operated small clouds (co-ops) with easy onramps for self-hosting open source services like mail, storage, and VPN are the only way forward. Every corpo service is eventually going to make you ashamed to use it.
@mttaggart there are so many businesses that make more sense as a coop (or even a network of coops) than as a Silicon Valley style startup. The one I want to try and get going someday is grocery delivery from locally owned stores, owned by a coop of the stores, the delivery drivers, and the team building the ordering infrastructure.
