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 🌞Welcome🌻🌻🌻

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.
