Hey all! New to the instance here, per invite from @ex_06@slrpnk.net and wanted to put this out there.
Can we have some kind of pinned post or link that goes over the fundamentals of Solarpunk? It sounds intriguing as hell, and I’d love to learn more about it, but also, I’d rather not have to get sucked into a Wikipedia rabbit hole to do so.
Something like a TL;DR of the main points, like why it’s valuable, the main ways to execute, the primary modes of sustainability, etc.
Would love to hear more.

Haha, Yes. Something like this (He/him is fine, btw). Considering I had never even heard of the phrase “Solarpunk” until a few days ago, it would be handy to have at the very least a one-liner somewhere that gives someone unfamiliar with the phrase a quick rundown of what to expect.

Oh, sure. We never want to portray a sense of gatekeeping in our methods of describing, even at a basic level, what the general basis behind “SolarPunk” is, but in some cases, not having a general understanding of what the concept entails at first glance may in and of itself keep people from progressing further, just due to fears of the unknown and a lack of desire to do their own research.
