We’ve added a lot of subscribers since we first published our deep-dive on what solarpunk is back in 2022. That’s why we’re sharing a concise explanation of our scene in this post. It’s for all of you who’ve come more recently to this newsletter and as a refresher for those OGs who have been with us for a long time (love you guys).
I’m not sure if you’re asking me personally as I didn’t publish the article so I can’t answer for Solarpunk Stories but I’m aware of how problematic Substack is and I certainly agree that an alternative platform that’s not centralized in corporate power that also works with Fascists would be more in line with Solarpunk ethics and praxis.
Yes I was asking you, as I thought you were the author. My bad.
I would not say I see substack as problematic. I mean, I don’t use it (I had a look, even created an account) but I have no issue with people not sharing my values or having their values I deeply disagree with. My question was really all about the choice of hosting a site about solarpunk using a tool/service that is not, well, not much in the vein of solarpunk tech. At least, not as I understand it.
