United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

~~This was them experimenting with using AI image generation for publicity purposes IMO. The photo they published must have been the "best" result with fewest giveaways (although obviously some remained).~~
Other celebrities do ~~this~~ AI all the time and typically get away with it. Before nitter went down I had the misfortune of looking at 50 cent's xitter page and it was entirely AI generated images of him in suits with a fancy restaurant backdrop. No one was calling him (his publicist) out in the replies.
They've pulled out the metadata and it seems I was wrong about assuming it was AI - https://news.sky.com/story/princess-of-wales-what-led-to-palace-admission-over-manipulated-photo-of-kate-13092481
Sounds like it is just a bad photoshop.
