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.

Yeah that would pretty much be enough. Allow reporting of underage accounts and ban enough would probably make it boring enough for most to not bother. Yes some will get past, but if the majority are not that kills half the reason to even use the platform in the first place.
Reporting underage accounts is already a thing. I agree, it would just be best to kill it. Personally, I think internet restrictions should be handled by the ISPs and by parents, with default parental controls switched on, disclaimers, and even possible legal threats about allowing your children to access restricted platforms. Possibly have schools enforce the social media ban as well. (Ie, they can punish you for simply owning a social media account)
