In the capitalist marketplace, production is determined hierarchically and is exclusively oriented toward profit, while in DisCOs, 3 types of value are highlighted and rewarded:
Livelihood Work: productive market value (the DisCO’s goods and services are paid for); Love Work: productive pro-bono value (the commons created through self-selected volunteer work); and Care Work: reproductive work value (towards the collective and among its members, see above).

But many feel that there are things much more important than technology, like our collapsing ecosystems and social relationships."

DisCO’s Community Algorithmic Trust, or CAT, a series of modular software platforms designed to enable people to learn about and build viable DisCOs.
This is an open letter to all the people who, in their good faith, are concerned about events that are shaking the long-standing leadership of the Free Software Movement. Dear hackers, first and foremost let us say that, as a collective and in the true uncompromising spirit of the teachings of Free/Libre Software/Society, we are capable of doing much better than what has just happened.

It's been a while since we haven't talked about the Elements but we're still presenting the topics and concepts it covers in many online conferences and presentations so we thought it was about time to remind you that if you are curious about exploring templates for building an economy based on equality, inclusive technology, mutual support and care, you should give it a try! Written and designed by the DisCONAUTS themselves, consider the DisCO Elements an invitation extended with love.

"En Guerrilla Translation aprendíamos mucho del material con el que trabajamos, y de tanto leer sobre autogestión, procomún y labor afectiva de tantos pensadores y autores, terminamos haciendo una colcha de retales de varios movimientos e ideas que nos conmovían, uniendo el cooperativismo de plataforma con el feminismo interseccional, la blockchain, tecnologías descentralizadas, el procomún, etc, creando un marco de gobernanza para aplicarlo a nuestro colectivo y para compartirlo con todo grupo que quisiera implementarlo."
