Yeah my main interest in this community is the topic, and thankfully this doesn't really affect this community dramatically since the content that people post is generally not related to AI.
And anyway, good to have clear guidelines. There are plenty of communities where the focus is AI (or anti-AI) and for feddit.uk users who want to participate still can (the ban is about communities hosted on feddit.uk, they are not defederating or banning AI on remote communities).
@[email protected] already gave the perfect answer in a reply to you, but in general some content is just clearly AI generated and we didn't have a rule about that before.
I'm not going to be trigger happy and label every suspected post as genAI and I don't have enough resources to check. This is mostly to give people posting here guidelines as to what is acceptable.
The post that triggered this discussion in this community was not hiding the fact that it was AI and also OP wasn't acting in bad faith - they even stated that "the posting rules didn't prohibit AI content", which is fair enough.
The rule has been added because communities have to follow the rules of the instance they are hosted on and feddit.uk (buyeuropean is hosted on feddit.uk) has introduced this rule.
If they had not introduced it we would have had to have a discussion about genAI rule anyway on this community, because it was a controversial topic as we saw on an earlier post here.
Yeah it seemed like community had some thoughts about it and better to have a clear entry about that in the sidebar.
Same, I was surprisingly buying more local than I thought. But yeah also feel like I'm checking every label now.
Me too! And honestly it has raised my awareness on where the stuff I buy is from. Sometimes it's unbelievable: Paprika all they way from California, US next to local paprika.
Sorry OP, this is good news but doesn't fit this community.
All good, thanks! :)

world4you.com is awesome. It's strange I never see it suggested.
This comment section is gathering personal attacks so we are locking it.
Additionally: we don't have a rule against AI generated images, so we had a discussion about this and wanted to hear what the [email protected] community thinks about it before acting on the reports.
Will announce more about the AI discussion soon in a separate post.
Happy to hear! And I have similar experiences. Digital clean-up was the most visible part of my journey to go european.
Also you are right: this community has really helped me too. It's also awesome to have a community where everyone shares the same struggles as well and I love personal posts here that ask or tell about their experiences, recent finds, and so on!
