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.
When we were younger, one of the first things we were taught about using the internet was "Your personal ID should never be used online". This is still true.
"A small drop down menu in the administrator account of a computer or phone, to set the age range of the other users"
Plus
"Adults are responsible for their own children, and should set these age range flags on any devices the children will use unattended"
That's all we needed.
Another glorious victory for criminals and spies.
Yes, we got dial up in the mid 90s and using your real name online was a big no-no.
I filled out their consultation form and made a point that parents needs to be equipped to keep their kids safe and talk to them about online dangers. Parental controls are the way to go. Schools also teach about cyber bullying and online dangers.
It's one thing to show your ID to a sales assistant. It's another to hand over a copy that you have no control of once it's online.
