Solarpunk (maybe slrpnk.net) affix (self.aesthetic)

What would be a cool affix to use in social media usernames to show that you are a solarpunk (or maybe that you also have an account on slrpnk.net)?

Reasoning

Adding an affix helps to better connect with other people and form communities in other apps. It also helps spark curiosity and recruit more members to the call to action.

Examples of affixes

⏸️ The pause emoji is used to indicate that you are in favor of pausing AI development due to security concerns.
🔵🌌 Means you have an account on blue sky social media
/dd You are part of the “Don’t die movement”
(fandom tags) There are too many to count

Some ideas

(slrpnk) Looks cool, but takes too many characters
[🌞🌿] Sort of techie, aesthetically pleasing
𝙎⃥𝙥⃥𝙣⃥𝙠⃥ More rad, still 4 characters long, but not very accessible
[🦾🌻] My favourite so far. It has tech, it has ecology, it has accessibility and it has sun/solar. Let’s goo!

Give me your best ideas!

Or just quick ones / which ones you like 👍

I don't have any suggestions, but I love this idea! I wish there were a solar pannel emoji, something that symbolizes the forward looking synthesis of technology and the natural world rather than one triumphing over the other

A solar pannel emoji followed by a plant emoji would be dope

Combining yours and @LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net ideas, I came to the following new synthesis: [🦾🌻]

It’s short, talks about accessibility, struggle, plants, the sun and depending how you look at it a bad ass sun flower hahahah.

Cool idea although I don’t use any social media that allows for a display name that way. I like the emojis since it’s short and easy to type. Maybe a sunflower since it sort of combines both elements into one?🌻 But maybe that has other meanings. I kind of also want something to suggest a struggle. Maybe💪 or ✊?

The last one looks like spunk so I might not choose that one haha.
