    I think you replied to yourself…

    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.

        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.

          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.
