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.

Def should be that simple.

Unfortunately, over the last 2 decades. We have seen a huge effort from the right wing. To remove that limitation. Mainly funded from the same billionaires that fund such crap in the US where such rules do not exist.

The left needs to work hard to ensure these challenges are both identified and publicised for what they are. An attempt to licence lieing to the public.

And the politically sane should be pushing back hard. If you can legally have misinformation labelled "news" we have a massive problem.
