Are there any fediverse or self-hostable sort of platforms made for mutual aid? Ideally with some sort of inventory system?

I’m looking to set up a one person super efficient “farm” to be the hub of a mutual aid network (it’s going to take a while to ramp up but I intend to support everyone I can as soon as I can, as long as they are worth supporting… oooh sorry conservatives 6x prices for you…). I’m looking for a self-host able or fedi platforms, that maybe I can link to nearby mutual aid cells, perhaps. Or get them to join by mouthy-words?

    I think thats a great idea. Haven’t heard of any projects like this yet though.

    It should not be impossible to set up though. You could use Foss erp software like dolibarr to plan and calculate everything and it has a shop as well.

    Feel free to contact me for more info.

      I don’t know how to do anything techy, unfortunately, so I didn’t understand most of what you wrote… most I know how to do is basic tech support troubleshooting type stuff 😅

        No problem. Feel free to DM me and discuss getting this set up. Use a quick search for the following words:

        • free and open source
        • erp system
        • dolibarr

        You can use Wikipedia for all of them too. I can help you on the tech stuff and keep you independent at least of proprietary crap. VERY important btw.

        What I’m thinking is we use a company planning solution to plan a mutual aid campaign. Of course that’s overkill but it is modular so we can just run tiny parts of it.

          I mean I’m down but idk how to do shit until I find a guide for it 😅

          So like I’m super nervous but I’m into it.

          @Darorad@lemmy.world might be into this also. Idk how mentions work but now you both got one, and I feel fancy.
