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.

Totally agree with you. I think society/politics has become polarised to the extent that we've all grown colder towards perceived "enemies"; at the same time people shouldn't be victim blamed for abuse, no matter how dumb they are.

Additionally, what we perceive as "dumb" can sometimes be other people struggling with mental illness or disability.

The bottom line is that people are accountable for their own actions and not the actions of others, and that's exactly how it should be.
