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'm having real difficulty convincing my mother not to go to the US. She doesn't really pay much attention to the news and although she knows some things are going on I find it very hard to get her to understand how serious it is.
this is well within the territory where you shouldn't feel bad about pulling out all the stops and making a personal emotional appeal, outright beg her not to go, tell her you're terrified of losing your mom
There's a significant amount of Americans that are trying to get out. After they close the boarders in they start closing them going out.
