1 month agoI think it’s a solid starting point - I hope it manages to keep attracting new artists. I spent the first couple of weeks after launch compiling a playlist of songs that are a little more average listener-friendly (it’s very ambient/experimental-heavy in general)
I don’t think you need to be a member to listen so hoping it’ll be an easy way for people to check it out.
I’ve wondered for a long time why independent media that seeks to drive change doesn’t make more effort to highlight solutions. I understand current, controversial events probably drive the majority of traffic, but why not pepper those articles with links that send people down rabbit holes into new ideas and solutions? (eg. “corrupt politician does corrupt things” article, filled with links to evergreen articles covering how to build in transparency and accountability in government)
I’m very new here so I don’t know how it could work, but would it be possible to create a library of “Solarpunk solutions to… X” resources (which can be updated and built on by everyone, with some way of highlighting popular ideas rather than just recent ones) so new doom and gloom articles could be more easily turned into an opportunity to educate and motivate people to get involved with the solutions discussion?
