I think #Mastodon is great for the #WritingCommunity
As a reader, I have found many fascinating newsletters, blogs , Mastodon accounts #books and authors.
As a writer my newsletters & #blog posts are being read. People have even asked me about my barely-publicized #scifi novels. People have actually subscribed to my Substack via Mastodon!
I hope other writers are feeling the same benefits.
I'm still finding my feet as a writer, but I'm going kind of slow. I really enjoy the community and the very deliberate, non-commercial way it's been designed and curated. I have been enjoying the #solarpunk and #scifi tags so far
I think it's definitely aspirational. In a world saturated with warnings going unheeded I think it's nice that there are people carefully and deliberately building a genre, trying to make sure it's responsible and inclusive, which is itself often about futures where humanity tries to rebuild in a more thoughtful, responsible, and inclusive way.
@liztai @Brekekekiwi Something that reconsiders how we do things and how we use the tools and resources we have. It's still very new and you can find endless arguments about steering the genre, what is and isn't solarpunk, but it gives me some hope
Even if my own writing tends to be more cyberpunk or dystopian
