We can grow something better! #Fediverse Punk Month 🖤

"We invest too much of our culture in centralized, for-profit, corporate social media platforms. These platforms enrich billionaires, expand surveillance, and fund the cult of capitalist war, all while trapping us with addictive algorithms that feed us mindless content. It feels necessary to be on these platforms to "stay connected", yet paradoxically they increase our isolation. Their purpose is to extract profit, not to help us connect.

Instead of jumping between online capitalist corporate platforms, we propose a radical alternative that's actually aligned with punk values: the Fediverse, a network for open, autonomous, decentralized, not-for-profit, and DIY social media.

The Fediverse is an interconnected network of social media platforms..."

Alrighty then. Thanks to everyone who participated in this week's #SolarPunkSunday, especially, @BrambleBearWhuffling and @MaQuest ! We'll be talking about #SeedStarting and #GardenPlanning soon, and for those in the #SouthernHemisphere, late summer gardening! And, of course, #RepairCafes, #VisibleMending, #DIY, and other related topics!

Wondering if fedi has any DIY indoor air quality/co2/voc/temp/humidity device recomendations?

I found this project, checks all the boxes + cute compact design, but sadly no longer maintained... I'm hesitant to order parts/PCB.

At Germany’s equivalent of Home Depot you can get a 445 W solar panel for €69, an inverter for 109€ and mounting for 49€, cables for 29€. And this isn’t the cheapest offer.

“the Los Angeles central public library bustled with nearly 100 people making zines…People of all ages, from all regions, are making, printing and distributing zines on the streets, in libraries and at local gathering spots…

Zine-makers and enthusiasts say that people are likely embracing the pen-and-paper medium again due to social media censorship, surveillance, doxing and the alleged suppression of certain topics on algorithms…

‘I have to do something. I can’t just sit home, looking at my phone and reading all the bad news. I have to get out there, be with people, and do something tangible.’…

through zines, you learned how to self-manage your own abortion…Every generation has the information that is relevant to their cultural space that they’re in, and zines are always going to speak to that, because those folks who are on the margins are looking for ways to connect…
