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.

Arse clowns.

Wait. People pay to use that?

On a yearly basis?!

What is the subscription for? Are they hosting your security footage?

[–] CraigeryTheKid@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it hosts all the videos & screenshots.

I know we're supposed to hate subscriptions, but until I get more cameras and self host, paying for the 1 doorbell was rather quick and simple, and temporarily worth it.

No judgement, you get to decide what's worth it to you!

I just assumed there would be a way to use these without using storage you'd have to pay for.

You also typically agree that you have the permission to use the likeness of anyone that walks in front of their cameras for their commercial purposes. The liabilty is shifted onto the user, just like when you share your contacts with WhatsApp.
