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.

Bleak as the world may be, Stewart's writing always gets a smile and a laugh out of me. He's got a remarkable ability to put the absurdity of our moment into simple and funny English, his famous "thrown in jail" sketch being perhaps the best example.
He's absolutely right, too. We're all here so on some level we already know that. This is no time to dilly-dally, we need to cultivate our alternative online spaces and cooperate and work together and put harsh barriers on entry if there must be to keep the riff-raff out, even in the age of monsters, those few of us who don't see the enlightenment as a mistake and may even view themselves as having an allegiance to the truth could find some peace here.
