General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

Unless Twitter themselves don't show the site in the U.K., the block will be very weak just an IP/DNS Block by ISPs? It could be more effective to just order Twitter to block Grok entirely in the UK. At the least do that immediately then go ahead with full on block. Considering that they have been very slow for illegal content shows there is external pressure on the U.K. Government.

I saw APL tweet (yes ik, ironic) about sanctioning Starmer and UK Govt.

Wow. That's unhinged.
