What an amazing job compiling this amount information, and it's quite organized too, hahahaha. Great job!
I'm curious as to how would the relevance of efficiency change when considering saling ships. With fuels, you carry a limited ammount of them, and more efficiency would make it possible to travel longer distances. But what happens when wind is the propulsion method? What does efficiency imply? Just traveling faster and possibly being able yo move with weaker winds? If that is the case, is it really that worth it? (I'm saying this because the hull shapes and other modifications are made mainly for that purpose, so they would not be necessary if efficiency didn't play such an important role, I guess)
I screwed up when I posted it, but I thought I managed to edit it out. Is it still flagged as NSFW?
Not close, I'm afraid, I found these in Spain. I am certain about the family, but I'm not sure about the species; I could look it up if you want.
I love using boost but it would be great if there was a more obvious way to know what account are you loged in as, especially when creating a post (I tend to forget it midway and second guess myself). Having different settings and colour schemes for each account would be awesome too.
If there is a way to do this and I missed it, please let me know. Otherwise, thanks for reading my request!
I know you specifically said you did not want people talking to you to make you feel better, but what kind of rotten society would we live in if everyone just turned a blind eye? isn't precisely that behaviour what drove this man to self-immolate?
I can't really be of much help to you beyond maybe chatting, and I have not been in your shoes, but if some rando on the internet can care about you, definitely someone from a closer circle will too. And maybe you don't need someone actively trying to make you feel better, but someone with whom you can be honest and sincere about how you feel. You don't have to carry that burden alone, even if it sometimes feels like its the only way.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that choices and opinions tend to change with time... if you let them, and you, as well as people around you, nudge them in the right direction.
About the self-sacrifice, I find the situation that drove him to do that utterly horrific and unacceptable, but the act itself I can not bring myself to support. Yes, it worked and it had an impact, but at what cost? was it really worth the price he paid? couldn't he have made a huge impact (even if lesser) without paying such a heavy price? We can't really tell, but the saddest part is that, now, we will never be able to.
Forming bonds with others, relying on them, supporting others and getting help is what makes us a community, and that is a core aspect of being human. Sharing our lives with others is nothing to be ashamed of, quite the contrary, it is something that defines us.
That's actually brilliant! I feel it would look great as a clock with the inner part moving with the minute hand.
I love the addendum at the end saying

Ah! While browsing for pictures for the banner I stumbled upon this japanese building which vibes very much with solarpunk, so here you go!
I ended up doing a collage of things :P
I'm not sure if the writing is not readable enough, since in the icon it displays too small and the colours are not that distinguisable. If you have any other opinions on it I can remake parts or change stuff if you let me know.
Hopefully the community is a bit more colorful now hehe. Cheers! :)
So I'm trying to subscribe to the fountainpens community at sopilu.xyz and it seems I'm incapable of doing so.
I think the problem is that the name of their community in their own instance is not "/c/fountainpens", but "/c/fountainpens@sopuli.xyz", as you can see from their instance here, so when I look for "!fountainpens@sopuli.xyz" in our search bar, I get nothing. Even if I try typing on the browser searchbar "https://slrpnk.net/c/fountainpens@sopuli.xyz" or "https://slrpnk.net/c/fountainpens@sopuli.xyz@sopuli.xyz", I get nothing.
Am I making a mistake somewhere? And if not, is there a way to make this work, or do I have to have an account at sopuli.xyz to post in this community?
Hey everyone!
I was looking for an icon for this community (since it is kind of sad without it (as is my profile rn)) but I am quite unsure what to look for, since I want something other than drawings, since we have /c/art for that. So I am asking you about it, a bit of democracy never hurt anyone, right? Ignores the anarchists yelling in the back.
So, what do you feel would be a faithful representation of solarpunk aeshetics? Some wearable gear? Gardens in buildings? A backtard garden? A plant-friendly sculpture?
Leave your ideas (or links to pictures if you have them) in the comments.
Thank you for your participation :D
(This is the same message I wrote in /c/aesthetic, so no need to read it if you already have!)
Heya! I saw both this community and /c/aesthetic for adoption and decided to take both their moderation roles, since they seems like sister communities to me :). Hopefully you'll see me around more often and we can make the artsy part of slrpnk.net shine :D
If you're curious about me, I'm a refugee from Reddit and, like many of us, I don't want to look back. I have always wanted to moderate a community, but Reddit seemed so big and overwhelming that never took up the challenge (so please, be gentle with me X$). I've also been a solarpunker since before I knew the term and I was really glad to find a community with matching interests.
Any other questions you might have about me or anything else, write them down in the comments.
Cheers to you all, and very glad to be working for you! Phoe.
