I posted one of my stories here and got as reply that it was bio-punk, because it introduced the Fediverse as a fungi-network.

Now my question is: how should it be depicted in a solarpunk world, especially if it should be understandable to readers from centralized social networks without too much explanation (ideally none). If thought fungal networks would be the perfect metaphor here. Would love to hear some feedback on this.

(If you want a more detailed genre-definition, look here: https://rant.li/2hzlaqp5q4)

    Ok, interesting idea to actually think where to put the servers in a world like this.

    In the story they’re used by the [netrunners/darkmovers/insert-underground-anticorpo-group] to communicate and post jobs and trade information without using the centralized corpo networks. Then, idk, a Cat6 hypercane in a +4C world takes out all of the established infrastructure and they’re quickly deployed across the ruins to get everyone back online.

    This sounds very punky, anti-authorative. I was more thinking about the different communities that would develop if social networks work for building them instead of destroying them.
