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.

It's insane - I don't give unrestricted internet access (certainly no social media) to my 9 year old, let alone a 6 year old!

Parent education is needed badly!

Yep. But these authoritarians do not think you should have a choice. Because some parents fail. They will use the claim to control all internet.

It is no accident that the solution is the force data sharing with the least trusted companies when it comes to data.

Just as smart folks choosing to pay VPN as more trusted then sharing data with random porn sites scares the crap out of them.

It's got little to do with protecting anyone. Def not your children.

It's because of the idiots that proudly announce that they "don't do computers". Refusing to understand even at a fundamental level the most basic parts of computing is like refusing to learn to read, it's just not acceptable in modern life.
