  • Isn't the Venn diagram a circle?

    • That was my thought as well.

      • I think you replied to yourself...

        It's not quite: a key feature of solarpunk is nature, and our relationship to it. Trek is definitely aligned in concept, but aside from specific episodes, our relationship with nature is not a central theme.

        Solarpunk is also usually closer to the present or more direct in its critique of current challenges like climate breakdown.

          • Oh. They're different servers! That's actually a very clever joke. I'm sorry I didn't pay close enough attention to appreciate it.

            That got a chuckle out of me. Heh.

            • All good, I know many front ends hide the instance for local users by default. I went to .world to get a screenshot with both instance names in them lol.

              • Oh, you're right. On my desktop it shows up, but I originally replied on mobile. That explains it.
