United Kingdom
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.

I feel safer already, and I'm 59. Thanks Keir!
Right this is all about old people feeling safe, it has NOTHING to do with reality and it is shocking people like you are aggressively willing to endorse the destruction of things that were vital lifelines for people just because it gives you good feelings.
edit I took the sarcasm bait hook line and sinker lol

My bad, that was actually a great sarcastic comment, it is just so many older people have said almost that exact same thing to me in total seriousness about equally stupid shit that doesn't effect them/actively hurts them and only hurts others but their heart of hearts wanted... that I was unable to realize this was the unicorn moment.
To be honest, that kind of thinking typifies that generation so.... you gotta include a /s lol.
