ex_06 comments on Infomaniak is now a foundation

We kinda agree I think. But we see differently what I posted probably. It's true that it's not about the tech itself but the development of tech; at the same time, licenses and engineering won't build solarpunk alone...

I would ban news from almost the whole server to be honest, I just don't see this as one but more like a communication from me to other solarpunks to say "yo people we've got another tech foundation we can use to not give money to capitalism"

In the latest rework of lemmini before the shutdown I just reimagined the main community as a solarpunk hackernews to ease this

I think it's not about technology itself, but about (corporate) governance of tech companies and therefore not fitting very well in this community (but the post can stay imho). However, I find !selfhosting@slrpnk.net less suitable. To be honest, the main !solarpunk@slrpnk.net would be adequate in my opinion. Maybe it would need to be contextualized better: Why do you think this is a solarpunk approach to governance? Are there examples that work like that? What could go wrong? And so on to give it more depth and not just be a "news" link

Originally, solarpunk was to talk only about solarpunk itself

Basically solarpunk theory

Only half agree here. I get the low effort posting issue but it's not like I expect every solarpunk to explain every win every post. It's like saying "add why do you think it's solarpunk if someone stops Israel". Anticapitalism is one of the basic values of solarpunk as much as not liking genocide, racism and so on.

It's also true that it's much easier to spot a genocide rather than the practicalities of capitalism...

I agree and only meant if you wanted to post in !solarpunk@slrpnk.net. Because in my opinion, it is about solrapunk theory and how services can be provided and governed. But it would need some context about theory, at least for me, since I'm not too deep into governance concepts.
