Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

related to travel generally:

The communities listed above are decentralized. Centralized instances are omitted as they go against the fedi purpose and it’s better to cultivate digital rights in the free world. That means instances that have a disproportionately large population or are centralized on Cloudflare are not listed.

Solarpunk travel is intended for /sustainable/ travel, right? So where can we discuss travel with no sustainability relevance? I only consider proper decentralized non-Cloudflare instances. This is what found as free world venues for travel chatter:

The places other than !solarpunktravel@slrpnk.net are ghost towns but that’s nothing that can’t be fixed with a bit of cross-posting. I suggest putting them in the sidebar as related communities.

I guess you don’t consider !bicycle_touring@lemmy.world fit for the sidebar then.

Bicycle touring is relevant but indeed lemmy.world is antithetical to fedi philosophy and purpose so I wouldn’t want to promote it on the sidebar. #LemmyWorld has a group for everything and needs no promotion. They replicate communities in the free world, effectively poaching from better places.

Would you be opposed if some content from over there would also be crossposted to here?

No; feel free to crosspost either way.

My personal approach is to post initially in the most relevant free world decentralized community first, creating a new community if necessary. If the post contains a question that’s starving for answers after some time, then I might cross post to centralized places¹ in part to promote the better venue to those in places of oppression… to try to steer people toward a more ethical workflow.

Some instances only show the parent of a cross post, while other instances show both parents and children in a cross posting scenario. This is why I favor the digital rights respecting community for the initial post.

① e.g. lemmy world, sh.itjust·works, lemm·ee, lemmy·ca, programming·dev, and lemmy.ml.
