Yup

Thanks. It was due to me using a wrong port. Its working now.

Sorry for the inconvinience

Yes, also occures without the header. But I think I know the problem now: I tried to use the certificate of my host provider, which seems not to work for federation

Ok, yeah, I’m using a certiciate of my domain provider. Maybe that’s the problem … thanks! I will try to do it with letsencrypt/acme

Or do you know a similar post maybe?

Sure no pressure!

You are right, it could be read that way from the title. But from the content it becomes pretty clear that the section of the universe called the “Open Web” was deserted in this world decades ago and no one is there.

Thanks. So nice to hear some feedback <3

You are right about the story. I crafted the whole thing a bit more hasty than the last ones. It should be longer and have an actual story and maybe some new characters. I also need to improve my writing. I tried a more playful style for this one, because its adventerous and so on, but its too inconsistent.

I’m thinking about extending and re-writing it, but am not sure if I will find the time. Thanks anyways :)

Ok, I see. To be honest, I didn’t put as much thought in this than in the last stories. Maybe it would have worked if it was longer … I will think about it! Thanks anyway for the feedback.

And it isn’t very Solarpunkish 😉

the use of “open web” etc makes it too up front as well

That’s true. But otherwise, I don’t think the idea would have come across

Well yes, but Solarpunk also supported dezentrality 😇

the use of “open web” etc makes it too up front as well

Its meant in the sense: better build communities in the fediverse rather than on Mars. Its a pun on “Colonize Mars”

Ok, you’re starting to convince me. I still think some of his works are great solar punk even though maybe he didn’t intented them to be …

never watched it sry

Ok, that’s a little let-down. Although I don’t think its that he is completely against tech, maybe his views changed over time since many of his movies feature technical advantages and not always in a bad way, for example the moving castle …

That would still have been an interesting way to explore these questions. Royalty does not exist in a vacuum, it is a product of many principles that Sheeta and Pazy would not be fan of (not even Muska I bet).

That’s true. Could certainly be interesting, I mean, they build the whole thing and probably spend a few generations there.

But thing is, Miyazaki is very anti-tech. He did not want Laputa to be a dream followed by solarpunk, it was supposed to be a cautionary tale about the fall of technological societies. It prefered to focus on the destructive powers rather than on the post-labor utopias that the Laputa robots could have brought.

I would call his relationship with tech ambivalent, because the tech of Laputa is primarily positive and exists in harmony with nature. It just falls into the wrong hands.

Interesting. Although I think at some point there will always be a Muska. Exclusivity and aristocracy doesn’t usually led to good things …

Ja stimmt, Novelle trifft es eher. Die einzelnen Teile sind aber einigermaßen abgeschlossen. Man kann es also in Häppchen lesen.

Hab noch nicht für mehr als den Anfang Zeit gehabt, der klingt interessant.

Danke :)

I used to hunt mushrooms with my grandparents as a kid. Got some good memories there. I’m also watched one or the other fungi docu on Netflix. Fascinating stuff.

I can dig up some good podcasts. If you search your favorite podcast service for queer mycology you can learn some interesting things about fungi in a couple of hours :)

Ha ha. It’s such a niche topic but I’m increasingly fascinated by it. Will definitely check out such a podcast :)

Wow. Mycology what a awesome name! :D

I would suggest a series of short stories if you like the setting and are enjoying writing it.

I was thinking about that too. Could be cool to experiment with different characters, factions, etc.

I think something more relatable might get the solar punk message across. I only dipped into the short story you posted and it felt more fantasy than near future sci-fi.

Its just that with the mention of actual federated social media, many people seem to immediatly recoil. And then if you introduce some metaphor for the Fediverse like the Fungiverse, then you also have to incorporate it in a world that really embraces the concept.

And tbh, I opened it more because I’m a mushroom and sci-fi/fantasy nerd and saw your post in the sci-fi sub.

Ah, I see. Maybe I do need to edit the story again so it fits more the primary genre … let’s see. Thanks for the feedback ;)
