That took me by surprise 😂😂

Oh woah, this was such a ride ! you went all out on that one, thanks for this post it was hilarious 😂 i'm hoping comerade 5 will come back sometimes to make us laugh :')

We were talking about the discord exodus affecting the matrix server as you can guess !

Ah nice, thanks for the link ! okay, I understand, thanks for the explanations, i'm still trying to understand the complexity of the fediverse, but it seems so logical now ! Also i have contacted @SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net to help mod the art and aesthetic communities, and we were wondering how adding someone as a mod worked.

I really llike Spicy Moustache, great videos about gardening and great vegan recipes

not only in the usa unfortunately ;-;

Thanks for that excellent post, I have a questions, what's the "alternative f-hub link" to donate exclusively to slrpnk ? Also another one is : when you say technically help those community transition to their own instance, it means that they will no longer be part of slrpnk even though they are solarpunk oriented ? Would that make them less accessible ?

Did she have some particular inspiration for her monk and robot tale ? Also concerning the "no money system" in this story, did she get her inspiration from real systems or economical theories ?

Yeah, i do think it would be great ! We all want to see some changes and often ask ourselves how do i do it in practice, I guess it will help a lot of people to have some kind of list growing here or regular posts about it !

The logo is great !! For the banner I'm wondering.. the banner will kind of give the tone of the community, so i'm wondering what kind of activism are we talking about ? We have some protest type of activism but also some local communal actions/initiatives activism.. if it is all kind of activism it could be cool that the banner implied multiple form of activism ^^ Also if there's any ideas I'm more than willing to draw an illustration for it 🧑🏾‍🎨

There's this set !

They come accompanying the Bright Green Futures anthology (The Bright Green Futures: 2024 anthology is a collection of short solarpunk stories from guests of the Green Bright Futures podcast) on their website !

thanks a lot ! 😁
Well for now I'm not sure how to present this graphically.. But I would like it to be much more evident that the city is powered by green energy (solar, wind power, hydroelectric power, else), and that permaculture is present in town—or at least much more nature and biodiversity as wildlife—, that there is free access to covered places for rest, recreational activities, and community gatherings/events.
I’ve also included a tiny bit of accessibility for people with disabilities, but I’d like the representation to be clearer that the city is designed with the most vulnerable people in mind (i.e., children, the elderly), and people with limited mobility—with plenty of public transportation, bike lanes, and few cars. But for now, I have to admit I’m still stuck in my old mindset of cities where cars and verticality dominate, so it’s a bit of a mental stretch to rethink everything…
I’m trying to draw up plans for small sections of the city and it looks like a puzzle haha

Edit : Also I'm very up to any advice or ideas, so if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to share them

Thanks for the post, it was much appreciated, i hope everyone is doing well ! About the no border/no country community rule, I guess some kind of compromise would be to create one community for all countries ? Like people would have a place to post in there language on the matter of solarpunk/nature/techno hippyness in theit country, and maybe sign the title with a country flag and/or the country code, so it's easily recognizable, and that way everyone can feel like its culture has a little place (as it is an english speaking instance) ? It's just an idea, also i've not been here for so long so if it already exists dont mind me ~

😍 noice, my pleasure

Hi there ! lucky you, soon released from the little controlling brain device ! For the otp and 2fa, I use ente auth on pc, and keepassXC for strong passwords. For now I have them both on pc and phone (ente auth have sync, but keepassXC is local so you can copy and paste the file from one device to another) while my smartphone is still alive. But i try to reduce progressively the apps on my phone so the transition to dumb phone and pc only is easier.

If i may, Eu, no price in mind but i'd say not pricy for the show (like not the priciest or luxury oriented), and if possible to add a particularity, can carry animals (like a big dog ?) ?

Thanks for these insights! Very very interesting.
As I’m keen to self-host as soon as I can afford it, I’ll bear this in mind. The immediate conclusion, in any case, is that large-scale infrastructure consumes far more energy than self-hosting ever could, and this is down to all the terrible choices they’ve made that led us to abandon them.
As for the long term, having read your replies, I find it interesting to think that this minor drawback can be resolved or managed through green energy decisions and simply better management of needs. I was reading the article posted earlier on ‘The small tech neighbourhood’ and I can see that all of this is, on the contrary, very proactive and sustainable.
Thanks very much – all this information is really useful (and should be widely shared, for all beginners like me or potential future beginners like my friend) !

Honestly, It's sometimes hard to have a constructed point of view to encourage the federated way when the big corps have had so much power on our reflections.. Like I know I'm fighting against this or that but the reasons why are somehow blurred, and even if my senses tell me something is wrong, i still have to search and ask questions to get words to support my ideas. The words don't come naturally, and it's frustrating when the opposite message is constantly being hammered home everywhere

😁🙌 So happy to be able to contribute actively, the whole instance is such a treat, i feel like a child seeing so many people sharing the same values / intests !

ah yeah, that's the trap when you try to answer such a leading question.. I totally forget to see the big picture in all aspects of such an infrastructure !

Ahhh, i hesitated so much to post this because i thought nobody would see this but me and i was probably right 😂 (i dont know why, but i often see faces on objects haha)
