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.
You have to be a real piece of shit to go against ParkRun. I think it’s one of the most wholesome things around. Just a bunch of volunteers get together to encourage people to get out and exercise with absolutely no judgment and nothing but good vibes. Even on Xitter they’re getting torn to shreds for this.
I do hope parkrun tells them to go fuck themselves.
Why is their segregation on a fun run at all? Don't all people just... run together... for fun?
A part of what parkrun offers is the timing aspect - you get an official finishing time that gets registered and compared against your own historical times, against everyone else who finished that day, and against your category, which is your gender + age-bracket.
Yes, they really are this petty
And here I was thinking it was just a fun run in the park!
I think of it as a recurring low-stakes mini-race I can attend each Saturday. It's good fun, I highly recommend it
I'm not sure I entirely trust the Pink News to be truthful or accurate, which is why I stopped reading it.
It's a run, for heaven's sake! It's an open air event in a public space where the Equality Act applies. I suspect this is click-bait rather than actual news.
