I co-administer the 438punk.house instance.

I play in punk bands and work at a bike messenger co-op.

Anarchism, punk, technology, bikes, linux and cybersec things. I post a mix for our local Montreal-specific instance and for the wider fediverse.

I don't personally see a good reason to offer those services under this umbrella. It's enough of an uphill battle to try and convince/teach friends to move to Mastodon/the Fediverse from IG. A lot of (nontechnical don't live at a computer) people don't even have a need or desire for something like Matrix. I use it, and if anyone here was curious and wanted to get on it there are plenty of reliable servers they could use I would recommend.
XMMP even less so, I get why it's good but good luck teaching anyone non-techy to set it up and use it. Needs some serious improvement in clients and such. I don't even bother with it myself.
I'm more interested I trying to offer pixelfed, because I think that would be a hit but I don't see a point in trying before the mobile apps are finished and out of beta.

Books:
- All 3.3 William Gibson trilogies are worth reading if you have not
- Snow Crash isn't my no 1. but I think I should reread it given current events
- I think KSR's 2312 is cyberpunk adjacent enough and I like it.
- Alfred Bester is considered proto cyberpunk, I like The Stars My Destination and The Demolished Man
Anime:
- Besides obvious Ghost In The Shell, and Serial Experiments Lain
- Psychopass is up there
- I've recently been watching Bubblegum Crisis/AD Police (numerous series) and they are silly/dumb but have a lot of cool cyberpunk visuals.
- The Cyberpunk Edgerunners Netflix anime was actually good enjoyable IMO. Anime based on the videogame based on the RPG.
TV:
- Andor (it's barely star wars and it's very cyberpunk, I think one of the better cyberpunk shows made...)
- Altered Carbon was OK
- The Peripheral was disappointing for me but it was OK
Movies:
- Strange Days (recently re-watched and I think it holds up quite well)
- Johnny Mnemonic
- Trancers (b movie with LA movie punks)
- Virtuosity (b movie)
- Lawnmower Man (b movie)
- Freejack (b movie)
- Just rewatch all The Matrix movies...
- Total Recall (it holds up...)
- Minority Report (adjacent)
- Chappie
Games
- Deus Ex (and various sequels I have not played?)
- Syndicate / Syndicate Wars / sequels
