Yeah, I hope that no one that answers this gives full detailed plans I just want to know that I am not alone in feeling that we need to change our behaviour and hopefully prompt others to start thinking about what they are going to do. Things are fundamentally different now.

Edit: Also get some books on intentional communities and group survival while you're at it.
Edit2: Sorry just looked at the title didn't read the text. I mean you could try sorting by category or you could get an online list from a librarian about queer books and then manually download from that list of books.
Edit3: You might also be able to ask for help from the person who made this list: https://openlibrary.org/collections/LGBTQ. Most of the books seem to come from the internet archive which makes it easier for a mass download I believe.
Bots have good reason to do it, because it makes them more relatable.
Humans sometimes can't help themselves.
Curating this volume of content is impossible, and there are legitimate dangers in giving the government too much ability to shut down free speech
Agreed. We have already given more than enough control to the government in other areas of our lives. We now have alternative social platforms that give us a chance to actually have more direct control over our media landscape which hasn't been true in such a long time.
you have to build a society that doesn’t want to engage with bigotry, and explore and question its own assumptions (and that’s not ever a fixed state, it’s an ongoing process).
I think this is what they were trying to get across when they mention media ecology. They were pointing out how the structure of where media is shared and its sources can be more important for quashing disinformation than the actual content itself.
So when something is shared through YouTube there are certain pressures that over time mold the source of information into a specific format.
I'd say the same is true of the Fediverse as well. That's why its important we get the structure here right because it will determine what kind of platform this place turns into.
Edit: grammar
Yeah there has also been an increase in the amount of companies either making FLOSS work more closed off or just not caring about them if it benefits their bottom line.
Unrelated I like your new profile pic.
Also THUNK. Not necessarily that close to what is on your list but I like his takes on philosophical takes on a bunch of technical fields.
Thx for the feedback. If I was to try this what do you think I could do get black rather than brown dye? Would I have to use flowers that are closer to cyan, magenta, and yellow so it is closer to the cmyk color model or does that not help?
Also yeah idk if the contrast problem could be solved.
Trying to do say three layers would then take six hours, so whatever you’re using as a mask has to be super absorbent or reflective to UV (think very thick black paper or tinfoil). Anything else, and your underlying layers are going to bleach somewhat.
Do I need to do it in multiple layers? Also I was planning on trying to use the paper as a replacement for photo paper in pinhole photography with it instead of a mask.
Primitive Technology. Heard of this through lemmy. Pretty nice overall. No talking but you can follow along through the subtitles.
Honestly I love the direction you are going with this. I agree with you about the abundance especially if the people in this world have culturally shifted so that most things do get shared. And I do think that in a real life transition we would definitely see a lot of people scavenging and recycling stuff and relying on each other for daily needs.
I also think it would be cool to see how much of nature we can use to enhance existing technology or maybe even create a whole new tech tree that is run with mutual relationships with different organisms. Like there was a group of scientist that found bacteria that produce concrete when exposed to water and another group that is working on a chemical computers. What if we reinforce buildings by planting trees that grew around them, worked with some animals to build stuff that benefits both them and us at the same time, or used organic computing (maybe using slime molds) to do complex, long term, calculations without the need for electricity and it being much less fragile.
The thing is that for what I'm describing it wouldn't be something that we fully realize in our generation but I do think it would lead to a society that could sustain itself indefinitely if we chose to live below the regeneration rate for the material or organisms we chose.
Edit: I was thinking about this only because I watched some stuff by Ronald wright and it has stuck quite a bit. specifically this if you are interested: https://youtu.be/S1ypWcqnojM (tried invidious but didn't work)
Edit2: Also there are a few things I disagree with like his views on population control and his belief on the reliance of governments for change but his analysis is spot on.
I think a lot of the planning for their scenes comes from the solarpunk prompts podcast these days.
I remember seeing a post on here about that podcast and added it to the list of podcasts I'm listening to.
They’ve been doing a bunch of cool solarpunk art for a bit, and they’ve started releasing it CC-BY
Huh I didn't know that. I'll make sure to keep out an eye for their work. Btw was looking through your website and I like how thought out your photobashes are.
Also as an aside since it seems you put a lot of thought into this kind of stuff do you have any thoughts on how much of a solarpunk future can run on only renewable material? I see a lot of art that focuses on solar panels and stuff but I've recently been thinking that it might not be possible to have too many of those long term because repairing them probably would require a complex supply chain and extraction process that we probably would have to move away from as society gets transformed.
I like the art a lot already. Can't wait to see more.

Agreed. No one needs to answer this thread. Actually don't upvote either. Just think and share with others.
