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.

Posted similar elsewhere: With Facebook and Twitter, they built frameworks that users filled with content that the corps then loaded with ads and sold the data points but they fucked up because they didn't fully grasp that they were content moderation businesses (especially after they all fought hard not to be labelled 'publishers').
Reddit had users creating & posting (links to) free content as well as carrying out the moderation and growing those communities for free, yet still couldn't turn a profit.
Yeah were in the best position of all the big social media companies really and have spectacularly underperformed compared to the rest. Then display company policy management by hand grenade. Poor attempt
