🌿 Happy #SolarPunkSunday ☀️ 🌱

To me, Solarpunk isn't just an aesthetic of "green cities." It is a protest. It is the punk of digital sovereignty and the right to repair.

Fun Fact: The movement was born out of a desire to move past the doom scrolling of Cyberpunk.

Tech should serve the community, not the corporation.

Supporting open source, keeping old hardware out of landfills, and building local resilience.

Adam Flynn wrote in 2014: "There’s an oppositional quality to solarpunk, but it’s an opposition that begins with infrastructure as a form of resistance."

Solarpunk is a future with dirt under our fingernails and open-source in our pockets.

Was thinking about what it means for me as well. Tried to fit it into an acronym:

- *S* ustainability
- *O* ptimism
- *L* ife
- *A* utonomy
- *R* esiliency

That is perfect. Autonomy is the big one for me, the shift from being a user to being a sovereign owner of our own tools. If we don’t own the hardware and the code, we don’t have the autonomy. Love the focus on Resiliency, too.

How about for the punk part:

Privacy (as a right)
Unplugged (from corporate clouds)
Networked (Local first, peer-to-peer)
Knowledge (open-source and shared skills)

@terminaltilt dumping random thoughts:

- privacy: indeed a big one. especially with the political systems everywhere pushing for surveillance, pushing for privacy really makes you a punk.
- networked: YES! For example, I really like seeing all the blogs with RSS people have on Mastodon. Building my own feeds, subscribing to people's thoughts.
