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.

~~Just when you thought the the web had moved on from the eye pollution of banner ads….~~

It’s always nice to be reminded of why you blocked hexbear and .ml.

Go back to reddit if you don't like the revival of old school forum culture

wouldn't decent forums have had rules against putting massive garish shit in your signature

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope, but a lot of the old BBcode forums would have an option to hide/show people's sigs


[–] kip@piefed.zip 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

well thank god we don't have that option here
