    RE: https://sfba.social/@jeridansky/115816077450379662

    Perhaps the #fedi needs an automatic backup tool to periodically exports your data so you have a starting point if your instance suddenly goes offline. it will keep happening since they are run by ordinary folk whose lives can change in a wink. I was on a fairly big and well managed PeerTube instance that also just went dark without warning, yet I was hosting my films there professionally. Would also be nice to get an email notification once this happens.

      Apparently med-mastodon.com went offline with no warning sometime around Dec. 28. I'm hoping @bicmay@med-mastodon.com and @gregggonsalves@med-mastodon.com re-establish a presence somewhere else. @cbarbermd@med-mastodon is apparently now @cbarbermd@mastodon.social, going from 1.6K followers to only 2. Not much info about what happened except for this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/1pxtglg/my_instance_went_dark_is_there_any_possibility_of/?share_id=s2cPjUUK7PoJe7jQOWJcw Edit: Apparently there is no hope for getting med-mastodon back online even for a short time to aid in migrations. That sucks. https://zeroes.ca/@ndrwy/115818420529339548 As I find other folks who have migrated elsewhere I'll add replies to this post, at least for a bit. #MedMastodon #Mastodon

    Fedi hive mind, I'm writing a story. The MC investigates a Luo folk song (re: oral history, Uganda/South Sudan) that has clues saying 500 yrs ago an astronomer from China visited and documented Luo space travel technologies (portals to the stars). This knowledge is now lost and my MC has to unravel the clues, but what clues could point to China without usung racist stereotypes? Perhaps a word, a name, a description, something?

    Context in the next toot.

    Excerpt from a book I'm reading, Slow Poison, by Mahmood Mamdani, father of Zorhan Mamdani.

    "FBI agents knocked on
    my door...they asked what I thought of Marx. I said I had
    never met him. Not surprisingly, this Ugandan Muyindi had never heard of Karl
    Marx. “He’s dead.”

    I said, “I'm sorry, what happened?”

    “No, he died long ago.”

    I wondered why, then, the question. “Why, then, are you asking me?”
    Later, I would remind myself: the FBI introduced me to Karl Marx! "

    I'm close to #crowdfunding goal for a comedy film set in a near future with no central government, politicians, or capitalism; ordinary citizens govern themselves and support each other to survive the #climate crisis. Stories like this inspire hope that this future is possible. So show me some love, share! Or donate if you can!

    I'm #crowdfunding for a short film to work out #vfx needed to imagine a future with no capitalism, no states, no politicians. Instead people govern themselves and set up egalitarian systems as they face the #climate crisis. I need your support to make it! Please share, or donate. There are rewards of my arts for each penny you can spare.

    I daydream about food processing technologies to fight hunger in the climate crisis. What if everyone had a gadget in their kitchen that easily preserves fruits, vegs, etc, before they go bad? Help me imagine it in a film set in an egalitarian world that runs on direct democracy and is free from capitalism!

    Donations stalled for a few days, but I'm thankful for your support to this film since I'm excluded from #crowdfund platforms like #kickstarter due to global financial systems. This comedy imagines a future with no such colonial policies, no capitalism, and people govern themselves in a direct democracy. Share or donate if you can!

    Almost there! About $50 gets me to the first goal to cover production costs. Then I'll go for a $700 stretch goal for vfx gadgets and stuff that will make it easier to create a #solarpunk future! Thank you for supporting me, with ideas to imagine life without capitalism or governments, with boosts, and with donations♥️

    I just read a news that the #solar boom in Pakistan coincided with the rapid depletion of water tables, perhaps a sign that capitalism will derail the #solarpunk revolution. I'm making a film that envisions a future where profit doesn't drive change, and clean energy happens with social justice. I need your support to make it 🙏 Share or donate if you can!

    Clean energy without fixing the system will recycle the injustices of today. Some see #solarpunk in Africa's solar boom, but I fear we’ll end up with a few monopoly corporations and #enshittification will happen.

    A lot of my works fit #solarpunk but I discovered the genre recently and so this film is the first I'm making with it in mind. meaning I have to carefully create the futurism aesthetics to fit. I imagine a world without central governments or the police or capitalism, and I'm seeking your support to create this future.

    #solarpunk spoke to me for it is all about activism, imagining a future we would all want to live in. There is the tech and aesthetics to depict, but there is also the worldview, for clean energy without social justice is greenwashing! In this #film I imagine direct democracy in a sustainable world free from capitalism. Help me make it! Share with your friends or donate if you can!

    I'm making a film in the #solarpunk genre, live action (rather than animation) set in the near future for I want to imagine practical alternatives to capitalism. Given recent events in #us and other places battling fascism, I envision a world where direct democracy is possible, so no central governments, politicians, or police/military. Help me make it!

    I dream about the future as escapism. Things are bleak; bad governance in much of Africa, the #climate crisis unfolding, fascism in the #us but in my head it turns out OK. This is perhaps how I began creating #solarpunk stuff like this film set in a post-capitalist world where direct democracy ensures everyone has a say in running the government. Help me make it!
