Communities

It's difficult to speak of Permacomputing as one single community. And why would we want to? We want to welcome and include as many people as possible in the discussion.

Discussion

At the moment several groups use the following means to exchange and stay in touch with each other to discuss permacomputing and related topics:

IRC: #permacomputing channel on libera.chat - permacomputing specific discussions;
XMPP: lowtech/permacomputing - permacomputing specific discussions;
XMPP: moddingfridays newbie friendly mutual help for electronic repair and creative modding;
Forum: permacomputing on the SLRPNK Lemmy instance;
Forum: permacomputing on the SDF Chatter Lemmy instance;
Email discussion list: permacomputing /at/ we \dot\ lurk /dot/ org - permacomputing specific discussions;
#permacomputing: obvious hashtag that we use on socials (mainstream and alt);

Note: the IRC channel, XMPP chatrooms, and the list are moderated and you must agree to our terms. The Forums are also moderated and have their own terms.
