Well as this is the only reply you have here, its great news , but will you now re think your leaving X Twitter for here. The vital message to 44k followers is more important than some posture against musk. UK volunteers are struggling out there, no one here cares or knows who you are, they are USA

That's much needed here pity this platform has such limited UK and local reach. More US politics sadly

Well it's Blue-sky that everyone rushed yo join instead of evil X but in reality all it is is disaffected USA voters going on about trump. No one is interested in UK community work

I'll use any platform doesn't mean I agree with any owners, I'm apolitical, the problem here is it's US dominated, basically people on one side of the political spectrum. I have tried for months to gain traction here, needs an actual community of litter pickers

This messy carpark in Walsall, West Midlands I've cleaned many times it really needs work on a daily basis really. But it gets 2 weekly cleans as I'm so busy here. It also needs a sweep and scrape but when is the issue, no time

Good luck reaching many on this platform, I litter pick, clean off graffiti, clean signs and weed paths here in Walsall. But for all the effort posting one gets little feedback at all. This platform for all the hype is US centric. We can but try here, I'm a 2022 litter volunteer KBT award winner.

16 bags collected today on a long neglected rural lane here in Walsall Wood UK. I must remember to post here I keep forgetting - this is 100m bags this month alone, it sad to see so much litter

Its fantastic to do, the fact its still seen as weird and corny is the problem I'd hoped Bluesky would see more community work like this, opening up a new way to find other cleaning up and doing community work. But it's not sadly
