Just wanted to say how much I appreciate this group and the ideas being shared. After a long period of being stuck in corporate media this feels like somewhat of an online home. At least it’s a place where most are civil and no ads and irrelevant content are being thrown at me. It feels more quiet and I like that very much. Also, thanks to the tech-heaviness of Lemmy, I’m back to tinkering and just started learning about self-hosting. Before arriving here I wasted time scrolling kilometers on several unspeakable big social media portals. Some years back I used to call myself a tech hippie. But solarpunk is fine too.
