Hi there,

I'd be up for leading one on something like.

/Anarcho Primitivist Computer Club / Deep Dark Green Computing
/

For people who used to love the non-corporate nature of the early 
Internet but now think the world would be a better place if we moved 
towards turning them all off.

This would be a more welcoming / accessible version of the "/00's Open 
Publishing News CMS Survivors group"/ that often used to happen on 
Sundays at Hacktionlab.

It's the moving towards which is significant here, as I'll still use 
them for a while. But leaning into more low power, low complexity ways.
AND spreading the word about that way of working too. I'm getting back 
into doing community / youth workshops again so I want to bring this 
retro way of doing things into that.

Here are some related ideas. But I suppose just applying the principles 
of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriate_technology to current 
situation.

- I really liked finding out about Tilde Club - https://tilde.club - I 
would like to lead workshops on using that set up for email, simple 
websites, and usenet! :)
- Really simple static website workflows
- Craft Podcasting - recording audio podcasts with old equipment and 
hand writing RSS files
- Give up your computer for a while - and have a email set up on a USB 
stick you carry around and borrow other computers
- And the old classic - put linux on old Windows computers.

nice one
Mick
