United Kingdom
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.

Well, time to start sending envelopes of cash to Mullvad!
Till they come after you for doing so.
The way it will work is a public crackdown on a couple of the big providers, then a few high profile cases where unlicensed VPN usage will be a tacked on offense with additional penalties for those getting investigated.
Its the same with the identity checks now, big porn sites and the like have them or will have them very soon, some small scale stuff does not and might get away with not implementing it. Using such small scale sites then becomes grounds for further investigation if you get swept up with it later.
These things are never about 100% compliance, there will always be those who can work around it. However working around it will in itself become an offense and grounds for further investigation.
