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.

Reminder to everyone reading this BLOCK THIS USER

Take a look at their post history and how they interact with anyone. It's condescending, vitriolic and pedantic at every turn. I don't wanna see comments like this as they literally just go out looking for arguments. It makes our communities worse and leans into the idea that redditors are pedantic assholes.

If you just block them then they can fester in an argumentative corner with the other cretins. The rest of us can have chill open discussions and actually behave like normal fucking human beings.

I've come across this prat before, literally every single thread that they're in they have to take some stupid brainless position just to be argumentative, for the sake of being argumentative. It's not worth interacting with them, they're not interested in an actual discussion because they don't actually have an opinion, they just want to be awkward.

If there was a thread the sky is blue, they'd probably take the opposite position just to be irritating. They have no opinion of their own.
