Mixed feelings about these writings.

All great for the vibes, but _personally_ I'd rather read tutorials on how to get it running easily on an old solar powered raspberry pi, or how to install it on my dad's phone. The introductory video [0] to Scuttlebutt is an excellent example of concise, hands down, brief explanation on why this software is important (vibes + useful). Tutorials and brief explanation change the future better than solarpunk short stories. Rock on!

The getting started guide [1] is pretty comprehensive, I think. Let me know if there's something you think is missing. There phone version is _very_ alpha still. Installing it on your solar powered raspberry pi is just a matter of downloading the AppImage from the releases page [2].

I'd also note that if you actually have a solar powered raspberry you'll probably fit right in. There are a lot of "solarpunk" people on the network.

forgot to mention. There's a post with instructions [1] for setting up scuttlebutt on a Raspberry Pi Pirate box. I'd link you to it on the web but the user has chosen not to have their posts shown on our public gateways, but if you join the network you can just throw this in the search field and you'll see all the details.
