We had an issue with the SSL certificate yesterday night and I wanted to say that I'm sorry it took until this morning before getting it fixed. Everything should be fine by now.

Here's how you can reach out to us if the platform is down:

Thank you and have a great day!

Happy Birthday, Internet. 30 years ago, one decision altered the course of our connected world https://www.npr.org/2023/04/30/1172276538/world-wide-web-internet-anniversary

Reclaiming the Future - Lex - Medium

Solarpunk is the positive counterpart to the omnipresent popcultural apocalyptic scenarios β€” can it help to mobilize people to take action against climate change? Frederick Jameson once said that…

Hey everyone, I wrote a short illustrated #solarpunk / #hopepunk story for y'all here on mastodon.

It starts here: https://mastodon.floe.earth/@lex/109653328151084313

I hope you enjoy it!

Attached: 1 image 1/ You wake up. Today is your first day of college! Most classes can be taken online as well, but since you got accepted to engineering school you actually get to move to the capital! You’re the first one from your whole village to go to college physically, and you’re determined to make the most of this chance. You step into the hallway; It’s already really bright outside, but the plants in your earthship keep the temperature nice and cool. #solarpunk

When I threw up my new website, I gave it the name "Solarpunk Station", because it's about a cast of characters on a space station.

Now I realise that name is 'taken', so I need to choose a new one.

So far, I'm drawing a blank. Any suggestions?

(And no, I haven't fixed the navigation yet. I have had a bit of a week.)

I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.

The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.

If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.

The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.

(1/4)

I for one am excited for the new chapter of projectmushroom.social and spore.social. @hedgewitchmeg and @spore are truly fantastic folks who have been working their butts off to ensure a smooth transition.

I know #FungiFriday is already a thing mastodon-wide, but do we have other hashtags to spark climate justice discussions here?

πŸ’– Thoughts?

It’s honestly surprising to know that the feed isn’t being manipulated for maximum attention.

A similar experience is http://www.wehole.tv β€” it randomly shows you YouTube videos with less than 100 views. What is surprising (but shouldn’t be) is how much non-English speaking content comes up. It’s a more representative picture of the world.
