Briefly back in the bad place to remind folks there is a perfectly good alternative over at #bluesky!

[Cam_Walker @Cam_Walker]

This claim is patently false, @s_deery - the CFA have not 'announced' this: please update your story to reflect the facts. @JaclynSymes

[Pat Simons @prrsimons]

Been posting over on Bluesky past couple days and friends the vibe there is so much better than this hell site. Strong recommend for making the shift over.

[Pat Simons @prrsimons]

Going to stop posting here for a while. It's become too much of a cesspit of disinfo and doomscrolling and the value of posting is low. Find me over at https://t.co/3sJqZjSjBG

[Pat Simons @prrsimons]

@KetanJ0 Tried leaving once and got pulled back in but definitely time to call it. You finding mastodon or bluesky better as alternatives?

[Healthy Futures @HealthyFuturez]

We are calling on the federal government to prioritise electrifying Australia’s healthcare sector.

All-electric hospitals will protect the health of the communities they serve.

Want to join us for this epic campaign?

“It’s not just social media which is to blame for spreading division.

The UK tabloids have long been whipping up anger against immigrants, asylum seekers and Muslims

Fanning fear, breeding hate, and now leading to violence.”

#BREAKING: Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reportedly resigned and fled the country after weeks of deadly protests. https://t.co/ICCPJt5HuB

[I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky @KetanJ0]

X persists because it has so many active, engaged users - users who look at ads, who are paying Elon Musk to host them here

Posting here, reading stuff here, engaging with people here all contributes to the broader effect of this remaining the place for "engagement"

[Pat Simons @prrsimons]

What the hell is this, expand the overton window on "weird"?

[Guardian US @GuardianUS]

RFK Jr says he was behind mystery of dead bear dumped in Central Park with bicycle https://t.co/ePwrwXuqri

[Abigail Boyd @AbigailBoydMLC]

The Bangladeshi government has declared war on dissent. Thousands are missing, dead, injured in state violence executed to silence opposition to an anti-democratic regime. https://t.co/SNbtpjBzt6

[Crikey @crikey_news]

74% of Australians support a wealth tax on individuals with over $50 million. Turns out folks like Gina Rinehart, Clive Palmer and Anthony Pratt aren't exactly beloved national treasures. https://t.co/F0S4ZFRoem

[Friends of the Earth @FoEAustralia]

This is ridiculous.
The ACF is a well respected mainstream ENGO. If it can be suspended for 'breaking X Rules', then no environmental group is safe from censorship here.

[Pat Simons @prrsimons]

Qld is leading on publicly owned renewable energy. Who will step up to match this? Vic rebuilding the SEC is a good start

[Renew Economy @renew_economy]

The #wind project still needs to get through the EPBC process. Developer RES Australia hopes to start construction next year https://t.co/6nsf3maYxl

[Green Music Australia @GreenMusicAU]

Great article by @abcnews about bettercup's reusable cup system! Feat. commentary from our CEO Berish Bilander 🌱

Big renewables need big support: Local Energy Hubs can help us through the change  https://t.co/5SpeCgI4Gr #ClimateAction #auspol

[Gregory Andrews @LyrebirdDream]

For Australians in the Bush, renewable energy is so much more than climate action.

It’s a transformative opportunity to reduce cost of living pressures and to promote energy security and independence.

[Stuart James @CrStuartJames]

The 1992 Disability Discrimination Act mandated that ALL Tram Stops be accessible by the end of 2022

At last count only 400 of 1700 had been done - in 30yrs

It’s a disgrace that vulnerable members of our community are excluded from basic services like public transport #springst

[Pat Simons @prrsimons]

Interesting proposal to offer ultra-cheap electricity for households as we shift to renewables. Call it something different in Australia and it might just work

[NEF @NEF]

Our energy system must support the green transition AND lower people's bills - that's why we came up with the National Energy Guarantee.

Great to see it featured in this @guardian piece on the alternatives to our current system💡 https://t.co/bcGJuU3mTm

[Pat Simons @prrsimons]

This is why I joined @Co_Power_ where you get a say on directing profits to climate justice projects and mutual aid

[JON DEE (JonDee.com). NowOnBlueSkySocial @JonDeeOz]

If you’re with @Powershop, you need to see this👇

“Shell plans job cuts in offshore wind business as CEO refocuses on oil and gas.”

Shell owns @PowershopAus. It’s why I stopped being a Powershop customer.
