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.

In an ideal world it would be great if we could say to people "hey, maybe you shouldn't be a dick to people on the Internet" but that's the same as trying to say "maybe you shouldn't steal from people" instead of buying a burglar alarm.
Did I say that? You can never prevent it completely, so you still need to protect people as well as educating people.
Come on, the Internet has plenty of stuff that makes one depressed without any need to get abused or even communicate with anyone.
Well, it's all relative. Compared to you, for instance, certainly.
