Hey Solarpunk people! I’m back to ask if you’d like to join our booklcub. We are a small community of readers, writers, and activists that is dedicated to exploring Solarpunk and adjacent literature. Every week, we discuss one chapter of a book that we choose together. So far, we have read eight books, including The Dispossessed, the Monk and Robot series and a few short story collections. If you want to join our book club just in time to pick our next read, please swing by. We’d be happy to have more people to share thoughts and insights with!
Does anyone in the group selfhost? I just installed Jitsi Meet (which is like zoom) on my server and it sounds like that could work for you. I’ve only just tested it out and haven’t had any big calls on it yet but it seems great. How many people usually join the weekly call?
We normally do voice only calls of around 15 people max, so I think finding just a platform for that wouldn’t be that big of a problem. But it would be great if announcements and text communication in-between the calls could also happen on the platform, it’s already not easy to get people to attend regularly so I don’t want to put too many hurdles in their way, doesn’t really serve anyone if we have the perfect solution but nobody shows up anymore…I’ve been looking at Revolt as a true discord replacement and I could see ourselves realistically switching without losing too many people once the mobile apps are out of early access. But that’s for the group to decide.
