Oh! Let's add a POLL!!
How much cross-over is there between fans of #startrek and #solarpunk ?
[ ] I like Star Trek AND solarpunk!
[ ] I like Star Trek, but I don't care for solarpunk.
[ ] I like solarpunk, but I'm not that into Trek.
[ ] I'm not sure / none of the above fit.
A poll on Mastodon: what’s the overlap between fans of Star Trek and fans of the sci fi genre of solarpunk?
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.
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.
That was my thought as well.
I think you replied to yourself…

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.

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