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.

@BrikoX Unfortunately lemmy.zip is restricted in the UK because online safety act, so we can't see your post.
Direct access to lemmy.zip is restricted, but the post is still federated so people from any other instance can access it.
I'm in the UK and can see this post just fine.
Edit: oh hi cybervegan. I wasn't expecting to see you here!

@flamingos Thanks. Original still hasn't made its way across to my Mastodon instance it seems, but I can see this.
UK here. I can see the post fine.
Yes it's fine if you view it from other instances, but the original federated version on lemmy.zip is inaccessible.
It should also be said that it isn't so much because of the Online Safety Act, but because of a protest stance taken by lemmy.zip against the Online Safety Act. Similar to imgur, although with imgur it was more because they had other legal issues in the UK and they used the OSA as an excuse to step out.
None of lemmy.zip infrastruture is hosted inside UK, but lemmy.zip main admin is UK citizen so the law can target him directly. Not sure how much of it was a protest and how much of it was a simple protection from abusive law.
