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.

It's funny how people don't realize that social interaction in general is largely a series of echo chambers. Your group of friends all likely share common interests and opinions, but no news correspondent is writing articles about how bad that is and how you should add a fascist or two to your New Year's Eve party to balance it out.
Social media isn't some public debate floor. It's a platform for social interaction, and if nobody wants to listen to you, there's probably a reason why. This obsession with neutrality and both sides-ism is poisoning our social relationships. Progressives not only far outnumbered conservatives in posting politics, they also far outnumbered conservatives in general. These platforms see a rise in conservative views (and then extremism) as they make more left leaning people feel unwelcome and drive them off the platform.
