Plus: ticket prices would have to be really steep to make back construction and running costs. With the way prices for everything are skyrocketing (have you seen how much basic food costs these days?), who could afford them? It would become a white elephant very quickly.
On top of the light pollution...

Thank God it's been rejected! There's a good (YouTube?) report on the Las Vegas sphere: whoever does concerts or events for it, has to carefully design a performance which will be tailored specifically for that venue and nothing else. Who is going to be able to do that? Very few bands and musicians would be able to, or willing. Maybe they could get some Las Vegas style entertainment set up that keeps running for a long time, but in London? Nah.
Good decision by the mayor.

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement. in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml
