This is an alt (don’t want this on my main, that account is pretty well known.)

I posted about this in a mega thread a month ago, but would there be much interest in some kind of community to attempt self sufficiency and avoid climate apocalypse? I’ve been looking into off-grid resources, and have a decent amount of experience in an IT-related field.

I just have no fucking idea how to homestead or farm - and besides, what’s the point of living through the climate apocalypse if you’re stuck doing it by yourself.

I’m just trying to gauge interest here, but if you have any resources you’d recommend I’d love to see them.

    I think the normal advice applies: an IRL commune formed by people who met online has self-selected to be comprised of people crazy enough to join an IRL commune of people who met online. Not that there's some genuine distinction between online and "real life," but there are probably hundreds of online communities where this sort of thing has appeared to gain traction only to then sputter out of life or spiral out of control.

    You'd be better off by finding like-minded people in real life first, as the trust levels involved are pretty high.
