General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
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.

Who uses the crappy social features anyway? Turn them off and leave me alone.
Why? Everyone is 12. We've known this as long as Xbox Live has existed.
And they’ve got my credit card details, and an email address and purchase history more than 18 years old. So use that..
The annoying thing is, the partner they use accept credit card as a method of verification. I suppose they cannot justify access your saved card details for this purpose. But technically the info is there, yes.
I'm using a Hotmail account from the '90s, fuck off.

You know that warm feeling you get when you realize that you aren't part of a gated closed ecosystem and have control over your own hard- and software?
Won't somebody think of the children? (/s)

Yoti, a trusted third-party identity verification provider
Sure they could do it without relying on a third party, but Microsoft knows its users are going to have an easier time trusting "Yoti" rather than trusting Microsoft.
And ms will find it a lot easier to blame the screwups on yoti than on themselves
