Oh! Let's add a POLL!!
How much cross-over is there between fans of #startrek and #solarpunk ?
[ ] I like Star Trek AND solarpunk!
[ ] I like Star Trek, but I don't care for solarpunk.
[ ] I like solarpunk, but I'm not that into Trek.
[ ] I'm not sure / none of the above fit.
A poll on Mastodon: what’s the overlap between fans of Star Trek and fans of the sci fi genre of solarpunk?
I liked this video on it. Basically, a play on the ideas of cyberpunk, but rather than using grim art as a warning, it instead focuses on radical optimism and envisioning a world we should strive to create. Building off the the ideas of renewable power, hence the solar, it posits that technology used in the right way can bring us to a beautiful and healthy society, freed from the capitalist systems that are poisoning our environment and selves.
If you haven’t already come across them, you should check out some of the communities over on https://slrpnk.net/, we’ve got stuff from urban development and farming to transport, tech, and aesthetics :)
I would appreciate an explanation as to what solarpunk is.

It’s like Cyberpunk but, instead of the world being taken over by evil corporations it’s run by a bunch of hippies lol
It’s also a real life movement that’s basically wants the above to happen.
