Mainly my issue is that I am simply not interested in nature and solarpunk works I’ve personally viewed have - at least by chance - been extremely anti-urbanist and anti-disability the first three times.
I have no issue with the environment being protected, only with valuing it at the expense of someone whose only place to be themselves used to be online. That isn’t even a “me” thing, it’s a “this work doesn’t necessarily need a token disabled person, but you should design it so that disabled people will still be just as if not more able to function without being forced to make social connections IRL or on centralized social media or even (for now) federated social media” thing. The reason disabled people fantasize about VR worlds with superpowers is because if we had that power but were still ourselves, we’d feel like equals rather than “superior” because we’d have something people value us for.
I think the fediverse is a mistake. I shouldn’t be here. You might think that just because I prefer FOSS that I would promote it, but it’s been almost a year and Lemmy/etc. are a bigger cesspool than reddit. Maybe Web³ is right, as far as VR is concerned. People who do hate reality are on whatever fledgeling metaverse platform they’re on because the fediverse will never be like golden age reddit. We finished the Web in 2D and it’s a corporate shithole. Time to move to a greener pasture…
