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'm far enough that I think it's inappropriate to have issued it to my area.
It's a very invasive system. The phone screams at you with a siren noise for 10 seconds even on silent. And very boldly declared itself a RED warning.
If they are expanding it to account for travel distances I think they should have more accurate wording.
I'm happy to have these alerts enabled if they're used appropriately but if they start to make a habit of it I'll end up disabling them.
