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.

Superinjunctions were popular at the time but are less used now. Case in point with the current proceedings brought by a Very Famous Person who wishes to restrain two news orgs from reporting serious allegations about him from several women (and from them coming forward otherwise), on the basis that he will commit suicide if it becomes public and this is a breach of his human right to life.
Back in the 2010s this would be a superinjunction with no-one even allowed to mention there is a case before the court, and the Very Famous Person even tried to supress that the news orgs in question were the Guardian and ITN, but he was refused that, and indeed his attempt at an injunction was denied on tuesday, on the basis that his mental health was up to the NHS which has him in secure detention, not up to the news media. He was given leave to appeal but unless that goes forward the stories will run.
So things have changed a bit.
