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 really don’t see any reason someone would be opposed to helpin out the birds. Birds are fucking awesome and if/when the day comes that I can’t hear them on a summer day anymore I’ll be furious and extremely depressed.
My neighbours got upset with me feeding the birds because they poo down the fence. They do the same my side, but as my garden isn't empty of all life you can't really tell.
"Stupid birds, wish they were all dead!!!" - Your Neighbours (probably)
"Stupid Birds, can't believe he is feeding these government drones!" - His Neighbour (just as probable)
Unless you are one of those weirdos a who puts out half a loaf of bread for the feral pigeons each day.
We have a lot of starlings which I know are not everyones cup of tea but I love watching them squabble
Love starlings. Those and jackdaws are some of my favourites
Same here. Bollocks to them though, I feed them anyway 😀
Note: It's the birds I feed, not the neighbours.
I have a friend with bird phobia, I don't think he'd agree.
Surely him seeing a therapist is a far more practical solution to that problem then telling everyone else they can't help out wildlife.
