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.

She's taken a leaf out of Musks book.

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 58 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Finally a place where hard Marxists can openly call for overthrowing the government and killing the bourgeoisie without being censored. Right?

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 24 points 10 months ago

Obviously. It's uncensored after all.

[–] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's illegal to run an uncensored social media network in the UK so I'm intrigued what she actually means. Probably similar to Musk's idea of free speech

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh don't worry I'm sure it will be censored.

It will definitely be interesting to watch how this ends up because she doesn't really have the cult following that is required to pull something like this off.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

oh she has a cult following all right.

just not one that wishes her well

This woman has a humiliation fetish, doesn't she?

Truss made the revelation at a cryptocurrency conference in Bedford over the weekend.

Seems like it.

If hell is real it'll be a neverending cryptocurrency conference.

Uncensored social media has always devolved into shit. Every online MMO ever has experience with it. Chat moderation is important or you end up with spam and bots, and nazis everywhere.

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 19 points 10 months ago

It will be a hundred percent be censored lol

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Read uncensored as "we get to pick what we allow." And people will cheer when "libtards" are censored, like it's some victory.

They just need to admit they want a safe space and be done with it.

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

How many un-federated free speech micro-blogging sites can the market support? I'm surprised Truth Social is still going now Twitter will let anyone pay these days. Are Parler and Gab even profitable?

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Nazis nazis everywhere

"to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about"

Who are you going to talk about these issues with, then? A selection of other salad ingredients?

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't wanna talk about... like the horrible damage she did the country maybe?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I would love to talk to her about that :)

So she's not just joining Truth Social? I'm surprised.

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

Well the biggest part of Truth social was laundering money 'indirectly' by having bribes be 'investments'. She can't profit off of Truth social.

[–] elgordino@fedia.io 13 points 10 months ago

The 4chan source code got leaked. Maybe she can use that!

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does anybody actually like her- like anybody at all?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago
[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I want the cute Liz Truss back, the one that announced with a slightly shy and awkward grin that she was opening new pork markets in China. I don't like Evil Truss, that started out by murdering QE2 then tried to do the same to the UK economy.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 10 months ago

Sorry, but her daddy/Master has always been conservative overlords.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 10 points 10 months ago

Probably hasn't heard of the fediverse...

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Behold, the power of roubles

[–] mysweat@ani.social 9 points 10 months ago

Lmao what an idiot.

As the Friday Night Comedy podcast would have it:

I knoooooow

[–] Commiunism@beehaw.org 7 points 10 months ago

Hey, I've seen this one before

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago

So is it allowed to post boobs?

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Will it be made of cheese?

[–] SleafordMod@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago

It better not be imported cheese. That would be a disgrace.

[–] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

She made an absolute mess as a PM so why should we trust her with a social network?

god she's a genuine ghoul and I can't wait to stop hearing about her.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 points 10 months ago

Following in the footsteps of former Tory MP turned right-wing grifter Louise Mensch. Her one of these, named Menshn (IIRC), lasted a year or two before it was shut down due to lack of interest.
