So does anyone else think that, if we invest our time & energy into Bluessky , as we did for years into Twitter, that we should have a stake in its ownership?
Perhaps it should become a cooperative (a community benefit society) owned by it's members, for community benefit & not be flog offable?

I went along to planning committee to speak up for St David’s ward against this coliving development.
The committee backed my request not to let it become a gated community.
They then agreed to defer application on grounds of height & massing.
We still don’t need more coliving on this one street!

It seems clear: the decision by the Exeter City Council leader to ask for a cancelation is not evidence based and puts the interests of the Labour Party above the need for a democratic mandate.

The letter makes clear that never once, since the wheels of Local Government Reform (LGR) were set in motion, has any report suggested that Exeter City Council lacked the resources to deliver both the May 2026 elections and a comprehensive LGR programme.

A joint letter signed by leaders of the local Green Party, Liberal Democrats, Conservatives, Equity Independent Group & Reform UK, makes clear there is little confidence in the Labour leader - his letter to the Minister does not fairly represent the views put forward at the recent Council meeting.

#Exeter Quay is precious & under pressure from growing visitors & resident numbers. I’m concerned it’s being neglected, we need a forward looking plan for investment with positive solutions to tackle bottle necks & look after the river & area’s heritage.

Saturday a day of building connections & friendship locally & internationally. I attended the raising of the Polish Flag, above the Guildhall, along with many people connected to the Polish 307 Squadron, who defended Exeter during the Blitz. Many local people visited the exhibition.

✍️ Green councillors in Exeter have written to @steveracemp.bsky.social calling on him to ask Keir Starmer to reject Rosebank.
❌️ This would do nothing to lower bills or boost energy security.

Yes the CO2 rise 2023-2024 was faster than we predicted at Mauna Loa and was a record rise there - now the WMO confirm the global mean rise was also a record
Also the rate of CO2 rise is now above the IPCC scenarios that limit global warming to 1.5C
