Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yeah it's absolutely wild. Even progressives in the UK are unusually anti-trans and extremely xenophobic and will repeat TERF rhetoric and shit about migrants coming in and claiming mansions on benefits verbatim while usually still claiming to be progressives. They're not even libs, it's straight up GOP-level rhetoric.
Somewhat related - Have you seen the UnitedKingdom subreddit? Absolutely insane. If you have not, I would keep away, the damage it has done to my sanity is irreparable. I'm not convinced it's all just bots either, unless there's a hidden space on the lemmyverse somewhere or elsewhere where actual progressive brits congregate to discuss internal policy and news it seems to be actually fairly representative of the average british bloodlust as well, even for young metropolitan people.
