Thanks. So nice to hear some feedback <3
You are right about the story. I crafted the whole thing a bit more hasty than the last ones. It should be longer and have an actual story and maybe some new characters. I also need to improve my writing. I tried a more playful style for this one, because its adventerous and so on, but its too inconsistent.
I'm thinking about extending and re-writing it, but am not sure if I will find the time. Thanks anyways :)
Ok, I see. To be honest, I didn't put as much thought in this than in the last stories. Maybe it would have worked if it was longer ... I will think about it! Thanks anyway for the feedback.
And it isn’t very Solarpunkish 😉
the use of “open web” etc makes it too up front as well
That's true. But otherwise, I don't think the idea would have come across
Well yes, but Solarpunk also supported dezentrality 😇

Its meant in the sense: better build communities in the fediverse rather than on Mars. Its a pun on "Colonize Mars"
Yeah its kind of amazing :) (Although I think the story also is kind of universal)
PS: The similarity was noted before, check this out: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/this-crazy-japanese-film-just-blew-away-twitters-tweet-record/
"Twitter revealed a new tweet-per-second record on Friday and it seems the 143,199 tweets-per-second milestone was triggered by the airing of a Japanese animated film. [...] In the film, the protagonists send the city's airborne fortress tumbling out of the sky with the magic word, "balus" which roughly translates to "destruction." [...] So strong is the pull of "Laputa" -- even apart from the Ghibli Rule--that during the last airing on Dec. 9, 2011, Twitter logged a then-record-breaking 25,088 tweets per second of fans posting "balus'' at the same time it was spoken during the movie--despite a public plea from the social-networking site to hold off."
I think Twitter always in a way tried to be the castle in the sky. Also, I think people just found it fun to mess with it.
Ok, you're starting to convince me. I still think some of his works are great solar punk even though maybe he didn't intented them to be ...
never watched it sry
Ok, that's a little let-down. Although I don't think its that he is completely against tech, maybe his views changed over time since many of his movies feature technical advantages and not always in a bad way, for example the moving castle ...
That would still have been an interesting way to explore these questions. Royalty does not exist in a vacuum, it is a product of many principles that Sheeta and Pazy would not be fan of (not even Muska I bet).
That's true. Could certainly be interesting, I mean, they build the whole thing and probably spend a few generations there.
But thing is, Miyazaki is very anti-tech. He did not want Laputa to be a dream followed by solarpunk, it was supposed to be a cautionary tale about the fall of technological societies. It prefered to focus on the destructive powers rather than on the post-labor utopias that the Laputa robots could have brought.
I would call his relationship with tech ambivalent, because the tech of Laputa is primarily positive and exists in harmony with nature. It just falls into the wrong hands.
Interesting. Although I think at some point there will always be a Muska. Exclusivity and aristocracy doesn't usually led to good things ...
Yup
