Comment on A Fediverse Permaculture

Hey there, my new friend. Its good to meet you here around a topic that has been pinging around my brain for quite some time now, collecting like-topic-resonance with everything in there. (Hello?! yeah, lots of “stuff”.) And I thought this is a good time to expand it out into the comnunity where you can help develop it do the most good.

Yes, @abeorch@friendica.ginestes.es, this is about sustainability, and the purest form of it where nobody is left feeling used and then abandoned, and suggests there is an already proven method by which each one of us can recieve fair accommodation for our efforts, enough to sustain a happier presence here online. I do believe you are right to say that this will best occur among friends. I hope we are both able to stay around here and make that happen, yes?

I like community round-tables where everyone’s ideas are put onto the table for sorting out, refining, and incorporperating into improving everyones experience and we all can leave with what we came for. And so we continue…

As you have pointed out, this operates very much upon the same reciprocation that normal human relationships depend on. I would go so far as to extend the analogy of this same dynamic as between a sucessful marriage where each partner agrees they will direct their actions to aid the other. Extending yet a little furthur , we see this dynamic also in the successful cultivation of life in a permaculure, which requires less and less external resources the more and more mutually beneficial each persons actions are.

It seems then only natural to ask for a fair sharing of effort (expenses and time) spent in deplomatic site moderation (never authoritarian). It is not too much to ask, but is precisely what should be expected. It seems this is also the wisdom you discovered sustaining that sailing club, yes?

@tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden, I would ask, is it work perfectung a skill of winning a game? It is an effort, yes, but what you get back is so much more fun that you line up to play again. This is the mindset that builds a happy community that is happy to give as much as they receive. Likewise, I am happy to help train AI if they are willing to help me find solutions among our greater family of humanity. In so doing, I am leaving Ai a little more capable of helping my fellow man, and that, my friend is a good thing. Just keeping it Open and keeping it Real, with you.

@poVoq@slrpnk.net, If it seems the idea has peaked your interest, please continue exploring it with me, and help expand the permaculture ethos into the Fediverse relm, a very solarpunk way of building and sustaining our ecofriendly communities. I will add, there is a direction I am moving with this, which you may have already detected, which promises to increase such a communities green energy effeciency. But we are going to need a lot of likeminded movers and shakers to combine their expertese to its development. There is only so much which can be theorized about any of this without our own hands-on real-world back-in-our-home-labs experimentation. Where do you know of such a gathering of green energy enthusiasts willing to try new “Perma-Energy” methods?
