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.

Yes to planned obsolescence. But it is in no way a result od digital. Heck the 1st G was analog mobile phones. It is to do with the desire or need to link things together. Yes if you still have a 56k modem (i do somewhere) all it will still work. That may change when all phonelines go IP. But w are a good few years from that. But again it is the links that are removed by society. Not in anyway a element of digital tech. But instead people and well capitalism.
Even if comming IP phone lines failed to support the afsk used in old modems. You and I could very much build our own analogue lines (assuming we owned the land between) and communicate from PC to PC. The tech very much still works just like the analog stuff.
