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.

Hey! Someone older than me?! I thought I was the Lemmy grandad at 40yo. Got any words of wisdom for a young, spritely thing like me?

Don't get old, it fucking hurts.

If you must get old, do the following to mitigate:

Start doing some sort of exercise. Swimming is a good choice.
Cut down or ideally stop drinking alcohol
Reduce the amount of meat you eat - it's bad for you and the planet
Start saving as much as you can for a pension
Don't have children
