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.

We call it a crosswalk... because it's where you walk to cross the road....
See how easy it was to reply WITHOUT insulting, condescending and being rude? I know you saw the downvotes and were "hohoho, I can't wait be meanspirited to this guy!!".....
What part of my original post warranted this level of attacks? It says A LOT more about you, than me. And really, at this point, with the brigading downvotes, it say a lot about feddit.uk userbase too.
Edit: Especially @wiccan2@thelemmy.club who keeps post stalking me to downvote every little thing I say regardless of context.... Even when I'm not responding to them, or in a same thread as them, or providing alerts to them... they're actively scanning this thread for any post I make just to downvote it.... unhinged behavior.
We call it a zebra crossing because it looks like a zebra
I'm checking into the thread when I see notifications for it and I'm down voting you because your being an arsehole.
I find it disturbing you think I'm unhinged when you are the one making multiple comments in this thread and devolving to stalking anyone who responds to you to accuse them of having alts or attacking you.
I made one reply to you and it seems to have sent you into a massive tantrum, I never attacked you, called you names or insulted you in any way.
If I'm reading a thread and see a comment that I don't think is a valuable contribution to the conversation it's my right to down vote it. It's not my fault that nothing you have to say in this thread is of any value.
Hopefully you'll calm down and get the help you so clearly need.
yea... that's totally normally behavior.... totally...
continually scouring a thread to check if one person has posted something, not even related to you, just to downvote them... totally normal, not at all obsessive/stalkery behavior.... but bright side, this time it is a direct reply to you, so I get it when you downvote this one. Go ahead, do your thing.
I never said I was continually scouring the thread to check on you, that is a reality you have invented.
I'll be blocking you now as it seems you have nothing to contribute but pointless accusations against anyone you disagree with.
Seek help, you need it.
Bahahaha this cunt can't afford to seek help. Calling an ambulance bankrupts these people so doubt they can seek any decent level of healthcare to help with everything that is wrong with them.
Actually this probably explains why they are so paranoid that they literally accused 3 users of downvoting their stupidity using alts. 🤣
And since they are claiming they maybe an expat in the Philippines: sana nilunok na lang ng nanay mo ang tamod ng tatay mong ulol ka.
okay bye then, so I shouldn't see any more stalking downvotes from you or your bot account "duckseason" right? Since I'm blocked, you're definitely not just saying that and then still using alts to downvote? Because we've already established you're a crazy person stalking this thread for me.... so.... I just want to clarify.
Alts in my walls 1¡¡¡111!!!!!!!!
