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.

In my experience, the Evri and DPD drivers are fucking maniacs behind the wheel while the Royal mail drivers are quite reasonable.
I'll happily get my package a day late if it means my kid is less likely to get run over.
I always get concerned if I see an Amazon van in my rearview mirror - I understand they are on a tough, inflexible schedule and this can lead to them cutting corners (figuratively and literally).
That said, I've never had to help an Amazon van driver out but have found a DPD driver and one from Amazon Flex wandering around lost (the street numbering can be tricky around here but I solved most of it for Open Street Map). I also had to chase a postie down the road after they dropped a handful of letters but didn't notice.
Proper pay, a decent workload and some training would solve a lot of these problems.
