Bluesky is going to be promoted by us in a leaflet delivery in the whole of Colchester in the UK in the coming months: love this platform and the AT Protocol.

You say "not a chance", but it took far too long to get rid of the extremist tories and the current government are supposed to be left wing, but they have far too many right wing policies. The billionaire tories own the media here too🤷♀️ don't be fooled - it's already happening here too😔
I am not fooled and I also suspect that I have seen many more years than you. Our constitution has stood the test of time, unlike one that is only a quarter of the way through ours. Yes, there have been blips. Cromwell for instance, but don't give in to the idea you don't have a voice. You matter.😊
It's already happening here, but more subtly and not quite as extreme.... yet! Sadly, many people are oblivious it's happening right under their noses😔

It really is. We ALL need to work together & take action collectively across the entire world. E.g. putting pressure on trump & elon's investors by boycotting them for treating the American people so atrociously, but too many people do nothing because they don't see how it impacts their own lives😔
It's starting to happen. And not because of billionaire media moguls but because of others like Musk and the gang. What we need to do is to make darn sure that every lie we see we challenge. Too many feel disenfranchised, so like I said in my previous reply to you, they need to know they do matter.
This was my Great City of Brighton & Hove UK, August 7th 2024. The Majority of fascists turned round and never reached the city on hearing thousands of city residents where ready to meet them & protect the city and multi cultural population against the Fascists. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2y01r1gk2o
We have to recognize that it's happening everywhere. We live in this country and never thought it could happen in the us, but canada, australia, the uk, they've all swung for their right. Humanity needs to wake up, not just Americans.
I live in Colchester, hence my focus on Colchester where I have the resources and ability to do this promotion of Bluesky. As a university city and a creative place it also is a good location to encourage more development of the AT Protocol which will ripple out well beyond Colchester.
Any of the countries currently threatened by Musk right now; Germany, UK, Canada, needs to be off of twitter/meta and on Bluesky. I see a lot of Canadians here already so they are doing well, I’d love to see more UK and Germans!
This! Musk is coming for elections in other countries. You all must prepare and watch your politicians. Even better - get him out of your country. Teslas are shit and he busts unions.

I think the leaflet delivery will be extended beyond Colchester, and I expect it will then create enough momentum to encourage people to know about and join Bluesky even beyond Essex.
Hi Jo, I have lived in Colchester since the 1990s and it is an amazing place. In recent years Colchester regained their "City" status. Great to meet another with a Colchester connection on Bluesky.
The three railway stations in Colchester: North Station (main one); St Botolphs (town) and Hythe. Even in Colchester quite a lot of people forget about Hythe.
I don’t know if people who remain over at twitville see many crazy hate posts but here they are dealt with in short order.
I don’t see any.
And I think they don’t have the ability to get a foothold here.
People just point em out to everyone and the village takes care of it.
Outstanding! Would you please share your leaflet when available so others, who have now been inspired by you, can get ideas for leaflets in their neighborhoods? I, for one, would be very interested. Thank you for considering.
Europe should start their own Facebook alternative. It's needed. And its time to stop making American billionaires . As the world needs change. Change is good. Can't evolve without change.
We are a small educational nonprofit gathering people to promote community owned Internet networks. I tell people that we are like Facebook without the Nazis. https://communityinter.net/
The potential of the AT Protocol to build any social media platform, that can never be owned by anyone is now a reality. It only needs the developers to make that happen.
But won't we just have European wankers replacing American ones?
An ideal social media site would be community owned, managed and monitored.
I still recognise the need to protect identities but the anonymity factor is allowing bots and trolls too much influence on the discourse and skew perception.
The platform IS community owned. What you're seeing is the top layer app. But anyone can build anything at any time based on the users here on AT Protocol.
Find a developer, download Replit, and build the next YouTube. Or TikTok. Or something totally new 🙂
Yes absolutely. There are other decentralized social platforms out there that are the same and they allow social tipping, but the lack of focus on UX caused everyone to leave for now.
Advocate for a system in which humans talk to one another. Not whatever this crap is that we've somehow all accepted as normal. Severely limited 300 character expressions are not a solution to any of your communities needs.

...and posting my support for an outspoken Canadian MP!! 🇨🇦
A warm 'welcome' message for the orange felon 😁
I wish more politicians would say what they mean and be as straight talking as Canadian MP, Charlie Angus...
You're making a Loyalist proud.

Hi Blueies.
The benefits of being a small fish.
I did PDS server for our work, it was easy.

Everyone in the ecosystem controls it.
They are relaunching soon, so we'll see.
