Originally, solarpunk was to talk only about solarpunk itself

Basically solarpunk theory

Why do you think this is a solarpunk approach to governance? Are there examples that work like that? What could go wrong? And so on to give it more depth and not just be a “news” link

Only half agree here. I get the low effort posting issue but it’s not like I expect every solarpunk to explain every win every post. It’s like saying “add why do you think it’s solarpunk if someone stops Israel”. Anticapitalism is one of the basic values of solarpunk as much as not liking genocide, racism and so on.

It’s also true that it’s much easier to spot a genocide rather than the practicalities of capitalism…

wow, that is ugly

Cannot seem to find it that spokesperson is still working for them tho

I don’t have LinkedIn access so if someone can…

We kinda agree I think. But we see differently what I posted probably. It’s true that it’s not about the tech itself but the development of tech; at the same time, licenses and engineering won’t build solarpunk alone…

I would ban news from almost the whole server to be honest, I just don’t see this as one but more like a communication from me to other solarpunks to say “yo people we’ve got another tech foundation we can use to not give money to capitalism”

In the latest rework of lemmini before the shutdown I just reimagined the main community as a solarpunk hackernews to ease this

It’s a lot more than domains and it’s still a tech company turning more anticapitalist

Selfhosting should be more for mutual help

But again, you know I intended slrpnk kinda differently so maybe I’m wrong compared to present times lol

tbf op said they made a flag, not “THE” flag :)

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

It costed nothing to say Kenya instead of Africa and Solar power revolution instead of solarpunk

While the funds pour in yes startup are so nice, let’s see this fully integrated vertical stack with sensor for remote shut down how evolves with time…

The same article could be done with the fediverse “solarpunk is already happening on the internet” or whatever good thing is happening in the world

Sorry I just feel like the author is sugar coating a startup, a bit de-politicizing solarpunk and looking down on Africa complexity e_e

Still an interesting read

well, it depends on the culture of the commune but let’s skip this and i’ll just focus on commune as a tool

if it’s used as a tool for escapism, good but it will never scale and ‘‘everyone should be in one’’ it’s just impossible

if, like i dream, it’s used as a tool to offload work of a group of people to allow them to make better politics because being much more resilient to capital swings, cool af u.u

obviously it’s not binary and what i described it’s not even a model with 2 opposites, but i wanted to focus on these cases

weird in betweens like project kamp are very interesting but I still think they focus too much on the being indipendent rather than using the commune as a tool for “greater” scope.

‘‘about’’ is usually always ‘‘about us’’ innit?

btw on the homepage you also got screenshots

the thing is, bonfire is not a single software like mastodon or lemmy, ideally is more like wordpress for platforms

Then someone could say that foss is too much, better go open source and then the environment will have to take care of the stuff that basic licenses won’t take care of

I’d rather strive for the better and look for copyfarleft licenses

Right now I have no time to watch the video, do they talk about the fact that foss is not enough because it’s still easily co-opted by capitalists?

Thank you, really appreciated. I was starting to think I was imagining that almost no one read the article understanding it lol

If you classify Canadians defending their own lives and sovereignty

Bro you are posting on an online forum, you are just ranting and coping. If you wanna take a gun and shoot someone go and do it but don’t write it here

not sit there and take it as you suggest

Sure, I was suggesting exactly that. Not like I was asking you to not wish death on 340mln people

you are kinda criticizing the finger that points at the moon (and to be clear, i too disagree with some of the rethorical stuff of the article) but doesn’t really make sense to discuss with this:

Gimme a break. What I feel is that I’ve spent enough time and effort on this

If one of them proposed locking the populace into an eternal doomscroll to keep them from fighting capitalism

I didn’t get to choose that preview, idk if it’s a my bad thing or a lemmy thing

but still i didn’t write that little sum up and it doesn’t really represent the article

If the economy plummets, it would likely help to turn his base against Trump

I’m not that sure anymore :/

(I didn’t downvote you, btw)

Oh np, didn’t even notice it because I hide downvotes on my main client

imho, you are too deep down into the path to fascism right now. Stock prices won’t change the plan of becoming Russia 2.0. Don’t need capial market value when you have de facto slaves, oligarch power and isolationist economy.

btw i was talking about “protest or rally or general strike” in general, not only US. In italy they have not much value anymore. Indefinite strikes (i mean “we strike until you give us what you want”) and focussed strikes (as in one single company) are the ones that work. + all the little stuff that won’t make headlines or virality on social media because ‘‘person convinced their whole department that that thing was bad and they fixed it’’ is not cool enough

Americans trying to post their way out of their own cultural endpoint

Oh i see. I did the post not focussing on americans tbf, i’m not one. The ‘‘i know too much stuff everything is broken’’ paralysis given by the social is real in the whole world where social media is present

then over-moderating when they don’t like hearing

ohhh ok

Please do inform me of any server rules that this broke

To me it looked like a non constructive rant born by a recent ban from other places and also ended up with a killing threat on an entire population (open season on every single american)

Buddy i understand your rage but i’m not sure how it relates to the post…

p.s. Try sticking to the rules of the server please ^ - ^
