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.

Let me be clear:

Everything you are talking about is not an OP problem. It's also not everyone else in this thread's problem despite your insistence that it should be.

This is a you problem, and the easiest way to fix it is if you do what everyone else here is recommending: block them and move on.

Hey if you're bothered, you can just block me. ;>

You don't think disinformation online is everyone's problem?

Or are you gonna hope that by having ignored the questions in the last comment about you maintain your extraordinary cognitive dissonance, I'm gonna accept the implication that it isn't spam?

If you're getting so upset online, maybe take a break from it?

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm not blocking you because I believe in doing what anyone else should do when they see someone else being harassed, which is to intervene.

Stop stalking OP. I don't care if you think your reasons are justified, this is not okay to do.

"Harassed", sure buddy.

Dude makes 12 posts an hour, every hour, for months, and calling him out on it is harassment?

So by calling me out now, aren't you harassing me?

When you browse new, he's all you see.

Stop being obtuse and pretending there aren't bad actors.
