Calling out to punks in the web revival

[Kie]

Hellooo everyone 
Lately, I've been crawling a lot in punk communities on the web, and specifically on Tumblr. Anyone familiar with punk will already know that it's ideologically alligned with a lot of thing us people in web revival spaces believe in. I myself feel like I'm part of both communities. However, I very rarely see web revival (or anything related to the tech world, really) messaging inside of punk spaces. I've seen some anti-chatGPT and generative AI patches at most! Not even anything about right to repair, or other "popular" movements connected with the web revival.
But I'm sure there's gotta be some punks or punk-aligned people on here!

All of this got me thinking about Solarpunk. It's a quite niche term, and it originally referred to a particular genre of speculative fiction depicting a positive and sustainable future.
But, recently, I've actually seen some people using the term to describe themselves. To them, Solarpunk is all about DIYing for sustainability, pushing for policies to combat climate change, and respecting nature and the ecosystem. I would describe it as the intersectioon between punk and climate activism. People who self-describe as part of the Solarpunk movement are either people who care a lot about climate change and are alligned with punk values, or punks who happen to particularly care about the environment.

Does anyone know of a similar term, but for web revival? Something that is both connected to punk and about fighting for ethical tech practices and organic, decentralized online spaces?  If not.. We gotta come up with one!!

If anyone wants to cometogether with me and start some sort of.. webring, or clique about this, I'm down for it. We can make a topic on the board related to online communities on this forum and get things started!

And just cause I wanna show you guys, here's a pic of one of my DIY projects that I would describe as both punk and connected to the web revival!

oh, this is so damn cool. i've seen a lot of sites dedicated to punk theory (i hesitate to slap a label like leftist or communist since it really varies from punk to punk) and i'm... kind of surprised no one's made any sort of community around it?

needless to say i think this would be a really cool webring/community/whatever to try andmake work. i'm very new to the punk scene but i'd love to see where this goes!

Hmm... webpunk... geopunk (y'know, like geocities)... dialpunk, like dial-up?  This is a really cool idea actually!

My sites been zine focused first and foremost, but zines are tied pretty tightly to punk culture. It's not the only punk related things I do ofc. I love love lovveeee making DIY projects. I have several battlejackets (including an in-progress metal focused one) and I've done a zine covering the punk DIY fashion scene (kinda like a 101 thing, runs you down on history, examples, and some basic tutorials for inspiration. It's on my site and named "Ragged" if you're interested.) I also have made some patch pants I've dubbed the "Pants of Theseus" I plan to continue to patch up til the day I die. I have a skirt that's full of patches and I have cool trans women sign it. (So far Alyson Blake Dellenger from Flummox and Vera Drew the director/star of The People's Joker have signed it.) I have a plan to some point down the line make a page on my site dedicated to all the DIY stuff I've done but for the most part it ends up on my insta/tiktok (Those platforms are a whole other can of worms, but it's really the only places I've found some sort of battlejacket/DIY Punk community. I refuse to touch TShirtSlayer with a ten foot pole.)


Someone should make a punk webring hmmmm
