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.
Is it? Without a doubt the internet, and it's overuse can be an issue, but I'm not sure it's a great idea to minimise it down to one cause when there's likely significantly more to it than that.
Young people are much more aware of what's going on in the world than they were even 15 years ago when I was a teen. They understand what's coming, they understand climate change and the other issues of the day. Is that an online issue or a societal issues that's spewing into the lives of young people where it didn't before?
That's the dumbest thing I have read today, good job!
