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?

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
