General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I'm from Canada. My own government uses "X" as a means of contact. I think it is disgusting and I'm worried my countrymen do not have the know-how to change this.
They just need to as a minimum share on BlueSky too. And then, only essentials on Xitter, before exiting once BlueSky kills xitter off.
Not that Blue Sky is good, but it's better to have a non Nazi centralised system.
Sadly, this is almost certainly the case. As it is with everyone else. The “learning curve” of one app is about all most people can stand. They’d rather support fascism than learn a new app.
