Where do the #lowtech and #NeoLuddites hang out? The #permaculture and #bicycle geeks? The co-op and #RepairCafe heroes?
Looking for alternate scenes around alternate living: sharing, building, eating, and learning together.
Much obliged.
@jpoesen as it turns out. On Mastodon. After using mastodon more actively for the past couple of days I tripped over what I've been unable to find for years on the other social media platforms.
A local volunteer group effort to help people get away from big tech.

Follow #SolarPunkSunday for weekend posts on repair cafes, rewilding, bees, wildlife, nature, gardening, visible mending, more gardening, vegan recipes, community building, nature-based learning, libraries of things and much much more. Also follow #Bike and #CriticalMass for bike-associated events because there are loads of them and we can't always tag everything.

@jpoesen what part of Spanish countryside are you in? We're thinking of moving to Galicia to explore similar pursuits.

@jpoesen Apart from checking Mastodon you might have a look at the Lemmy software based https://slrpnk.net/communities

@jpoesen There's !bikenite@fedigroups.social (people also use the hashtag bikenite).
Also I just heard about this podcast yesterday, which sounds related: https://solarcast.cc/@solarcast/posts/ede04a09-2fb2-4f48-b30d-6f5e5b496535

@jpoesen Permacomputing related online and offline communities might be relevant here. Gopherspace (gopher protocol) with its user pages may also be one such online niche.

@jpoesen If you're referring to in-person pursuits, adding a location or region where you live might be helpful if you're wanting more locally tailored answers.

@707Kat @jpoesen I would love to volunteer to help people in this way.
The problem is a lack of demand. I don't hear about a lot of people who aren't already technically savvy about this stuff who are interested in moving away from big tech. Usually the reaction I see is "why would I care about that?"

@gerrymcgovern Galicia sounds neat. From what I know it has a pretty active (and I think officially supported) open source and free software community. @jpoesen

@gerrymcgovern I just now looked and they are still sticking with it (in an official capacity, I remember they launched this a few years ago) https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observatory-osor/news/galicia-government-adopts-their-2025-free-software-action-plan
Also, the Free Software community in Spain is really fun to hang out with.

@chillicampari
Great to know. Thanks for the info.

Few suggestions:
@theantlady (participates in the "bike night" group so she's a connection to all of that)
@pjf
@smellsofbikes
@luke
BikeSmut is MIA or I lost track of them...Neoluddities I follow lean that way because they are well versed. Also my own follows are in disarray and I never got back to fixing that (sorry... lots going on). I myself am pretty boring these days.
