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.

Abandoning tech for a few generations might be a good thing. It seems all of society is forced to re-engineer itself based on the latest tech/gizmo/widget invention, in order to streamline "business", but everything gets more expensive with diminishing quality over time. Knee-jerk reactions to the shiny and new aren't good for anybody.

Are we "abandoning tech" or just segregating access to infrastructure based on professed loyalties to surveillance tyrants?

You're either on the bus or off the bus.

Somewhere we lost sight of the idea that just because a person has an idea, does not make it a GOOD idea.
