Good guy The Guardian. For my fellow Brits, here is your regular reminder that there are only two major independent news outlets in the UK: The Guardian and the BBC.
Not a fan of Musk but saying the BBC and Guardian are independent is a stretch.
BBC director and editorial standard setter Robbie Gibb is a rabid Zionist and owner of the Jewish Chronicle, whose funding is a secret.

The Guardian kowtows to the Israel lobby and the right.

Legacy media is inherently self serving and sets whatever narratives are in the interests of the powerful.
I'll keep an eye on the feddit.uk applications for grauniad@theguardian.com in that case!
We don't have a Mastodon server, do we?
I joined Mastodon years ago, but the server I joined was always a bit moribund and I sort of lost interest. Wouldn't be against someone doing a Fedwitter.uk...
(It should not be called Fedwitter.uk under any circumstances)
There are a few British Mastodon instances:
- https://mastodonapp.uk
- https://mastodon.me.uk
If we were to add another service, I'd want something a bit more interesting.
I mean, we should be able to interact with mastodon via fedipub, right?
If we had a separate server, it might be messy, as then there are two sets of accounts.
You can use Mastodon to interact with Lemmy content and vice versa, but generally speaking the user experience isn't good. Lots of manually typing URLs and trying to figure out what you're looking at when you get there.
In theory you could host a Lemmy and Mastodon server under the same domain (using subdomains, e.g. lemmy.feddit.uk and mastodon.feddit.uk), but they'd be different servers in most ways that matter. I presume they would maintain separate user account databases (without some concerted hacking).
I presume they would maintain separate user account databases (without some concerted hacking).
I'm hoping at some point that different services will allow shared logins (with APIs it should be relatively straightforward) or a separate ID service (ActivityPods?).
I was considering getting their RSS feed dragged through to Lemmy via:

Seems Vance threatening tariffs to nations that limit musks political bull.
Has made the political corruption so obvious it can't be ignored.
