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 don't mean to be a wet blanket, but...

    Other experiments in the United States included communal settlements at Blue Spring, near Bloomington, Indiana, at Yellow Springs, Ohio, and at Forestville Commonwealth at Earlton, New York, as well as other projects in New York, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. Nearly all of these had ended before New Harmony was dissolved in April 1827...

    Owen's Utopian communities attracted a mix of people....Some historians have traced the demise of New Harmony to serial disagreements among its members.

    Social experiments also began in Scotland in 1825, when Abram Combe, an Owenite, attempted a utopian experiment at Orbiston, near Glasgow, but this failed after about two years

    This has been tried many, many, many times before and they pretty much always fail.

    Don't retreat into obscurity, help us comrades out in civilisation. We have a world to win.
