General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

@echodot kbin autopopulates the ats, I guess because it is useful for mastodon who we also federate with.
Sometimes I leave it in because threading is still a bit dicey so it helps me keep track of who I'm talking to, can stop if it bugs you though.
I've definitely noticed it bugs some people. I wonder if those people maybe just don't understand why it's happening, combined with it looking silly on Lemmy when you don't know why it's happening? That it autopopulates just like it does on Mastodon and did on Twitter, like you said. Although, I definitely remember people getting annoyed with it on Twitter, too, lol. Anywho, you're not hurting anybody, but it's kind of you to offer to stop if it's bugging them. :) Maybe a PSA about it, why it happens, and why people leave the tags in their replies, posted to a lot of different communities/magazines/topics would help?
I don't really mind it was just a bit odd so I brought it up.
The biggest problem is it results in me getting two notifications, the first one for the comment reply, and then another one because my username has been mentioned.
It makes me feel like I'm 50% more popular than I really am
Til, this is the first time it's come up for me. I think it's probably best to bring my threading problem up with Kbin's dev when he's a bit less busy.
