Slowcore HQ

Devotional polytheist living a monastic lifestyle centered on curiosity, simplicity, and joy.  Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality.

We (admins @thecurioushermit and I) are putting the /slowcore-hq channel into extended hibernation. 

We haven't lost interest in the FC-seeded slowcore movement. To the contrary: we think it’s much-needed! 

However, the Farconomy doesn't have economic models to sustainably fund ongoing maintenance efforts for channels. 

Some projects have made inroads in the right direction. But without realistic prospects of adequate compensation to cover basic costs for responsible channel stewardship, we'll struggle with moderator attrition and burnout. (We apologize for the backlog of pending membership requests).

The channel deserves better.

It doesn’t seem fair or responsible to ask others to take over the channel under these conditions either, since channels are not a priority for WC.

Maybe one day we’ll get a chance to turn /slowcore-hq into a sustainable cozy corner. 

For now, thanks for your camaraderie, fellow sloth people. We appreciate you.

Keep moving slow and preserving things. 🐢 🐌
