Clouded funnel on yesterday's rainy rainforest floor.

Bluesky now has 40 million users but, although my engagement here is much higher than it was on X, it remains very limited in reach.

Not only do the vast majority of cultural, economic, political and social organizations continue to support X, they also stay away from (or inactive on) Bluesky.

Our goal: double the share of new & young farmers in the EU
