Is anyone in this sub or instance a remote worker? I have been one first partially and then completely for a few years now and I began to think as a kinda of solarpunk way of live that has the potential to propel humanity to a more decentralized and sustainable way of life, specially since I plan to move to a smaller town because of it. What do guys feel about it? Do you do it? Don’t do it but would like to? Do it it but miss interaction?

    I’ve been working and managing remotely for 10 years. In fact, I wrote a book about it. Working remotely is not for everyone, but the pandemic showed that many more people in the world can work remotely than currently do, preferably as a part of self-sufficient communities.

    I dream that the future of government is to help individuals transition to small, sustainable communities. It’s difficult for people to purposefully say goodbye to some luxuries that exist, but it’s the only way we can survive on this planet.

    When I moved to Europe, I left all my friends behind. It was incredibly difficult to make new friends. Now, I’ve got a weekly boardgame night where folks drop in. It’s the most important part of my week.

    So do your best to find like minded individuals (in real life!) and do it together. Together we go far.
