  • I came here originally cause I think this instance is likely to defederate from Meta (and cause I enjoy the content and want to contribute a bit of course), though I‘m also not the type to raise a big stink if it didn’t, at most I upvote and affirm posts like this.

    I really like about the Fediverse that I can basically just move on to another instance which suits me better, if I notice things going a way I don‘t want them to.



  • That‘s hard, I currently work in SAP Basis (tech side) and I‘m not sure. In a solarpunk world, I feel like my job wouldn‘t exist, as it‘s really focused on the needs of “big business” and needs a ton of energy to run this whole system.

    I‘ve been thinking though, things like supply chain, material management, etc seem like they might be useful to have open source for alternative organisations too and I found this: https://erpnext.com/comparisons/sap-alternative though idk how good any of this is truly and I‘m not sure how it would serve solarpunk, I‘m still too new to all this and only work with a small part of it, though it does seem to be the brain of business.

    Before that I worked as a System Engineer, for a fossil fuel company… there I learned that the interests of such a company and anyone who wants nature to survive are incompatible, as they were greenwashing things in marketing while lobbying against any change and toasting to their profits behind closed doors. It made me feel like a monster.

    Sorry if none of this is useful, I‘m mostly here to learn more about solarpunk from you guys cause I‘m so negative from my experiences and I want to change that towards a more hopeful perspective.


  • I had an idea I wanted to share, in my town we have food coops, which is small group of people who band together to get local produce from farmers, with a focus on it being sustainable too so I‘ve seen they even go with bikes to get it. Though you have to contribute in work too, but it‘s probably better than the stuff in supermarkets environmentally.

    I heard about this and thought about joining but been too shy so far, maybe this will finally push me to go apply.



  • It is truly absurd. The media (especially cheap anger tabloids) are making them out to be villains to the point they are being attacked.

    Since I deal with absurdness by laughing, I want to share a funny article with you a satirical press wrote about this (climate activists being called criminal organisation and treated like terrorists). It‘s in German, but I will translate to make it easier.

    Title: “Another Last Generation terrorist attack: 34 light and 5 severely delayed”

    Berlin (dpo) - The terrorist organization Last Generation has struck again: In a serious attack on road traffic, 34 people were slightly delayed and 5 severely delayed in Berlin today. Only through courageous intervention by the police could worse delays be prevented.

    Around 9 o’clock in the morning, the terrorists launched their cowardly attack by sticking themselves to a pedestrian crossing in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Their unsuspecting victims had no chance: Within seconds they were stuck in a traffic jam that got worse every minute.

    “I can never get these pictures out of my head again,” describes a still visibly shocked eyewitness. “It was terrible! Everywhere the bright red heads of the late ones. When I close my eyes, I still hear their angry screams.”

    Only after 15 agonizing minutes does the police finally arrive. The officials manage to remove the extremists from the road with the help of solvents and with the courageous use of pain attacks. “Fortunately, I was still able to twist the wrist of a terrorist while carrying her away,” reports a policeman. “I can’t imagine what would have happened if I had just carried her off the street normally!”

    In the meantime, a crowd has gathered at the crime scene, which commemorates the late. Wreaths are laid down, songs are occasionally sounded. They are pictures that were no longer thought possible in Germany - pictures from a country heavily marked by climate terrorism.
