Hello, just finding my footing on Mastodon. Lately, I've been interested in reading about #solarpunk and #gemini_protocol. Nice to meet you, kind.social and the wider Fediverse. :)

@crows Hi! Mastodon can be a whole lot of fun! Welcome to the show. I'm glad you made it!

You may want to check out #SolarpunkSunday as well.

What parts of solarpunk interest you?

@BrambleBearSnoring Thanks, I will check it out! It seems exactly like the kind of tag that I want to follow.

I'm new to solarpunk as well, so I don't know a lot about it, but the idea of building a more resilient future connected in harmony with nature appeals to me.

So I'd like to learn what I can to do my part towards that goal.

Would you like a few references/links? Have you seen Andrewism videos about it, or any of the manifestos?

@BrambleBearSnoring I would love some links! I have not seen these videos or read any manifestos yet.

Which is the first thing you'd recommend a newbie to check out? Thank you so much!

@crows My intro was Andrew Sage vids on yt channel Andrewism. One way to #solarpunk is to reclaim our digital privacy. Look up using https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
choose view in fuckplayer (leaving typo cuz πŸ”₯- meant duckplayer) is a way I chip away at capitalist megamachine. Lets you view with no tracking no ads, no feeding the data therefore money therefore power to billionaires who are trying to crush, kill, enslave us.

@BrambleBearSnoring I already use duck duck go as a search engine, so this is the perfect next step. I will check out Andrewism next. Thank you!
@crows delighted to share what I know so far!

@BrambleBearSnoring

Ecosia is another good alternative to using Google. It's a non-profit search engine that funds tree planting projects with all of its surplus revenue.

Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees

Ecosia uses 100% of its profits for the planet and produces enough renewable energy to power all searches twice over.

@curtzt yay! Good to have options! Will check it out!!!
