I feel like growth as a motivation is really not something that fits the solarpunk mindset / idea and I believe the folks here, especially the admin and the mods, have enough integrity to stay true to their values.
If you are interested in the legality of dumster diving, this part of the wikipedia article on dumpster diving focuses on that. In most places where dumpster diving is legal, the trespassing committed to actually get to the dumpsters is not legal.
It is still not directly illegal and there are plenty of public dumpsters in most places. Discussion and encouragement of it is not very likely to get anyone under risk.
I would not like to drag this discussion for hours on end, however. What I was trying to say is, your community and efforts are being tolerated and hosted here, and so perhaps you could consider respecting that by revising your rules, to at least not directly admit to encouraging and "celebrating" an illegal activity. Save them from the future work. There's a line everybody tends to follow on these things online, and if the admin supports or tolerates you, perhaps you should have their back as well.
