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, the thing that tallies up how much cash should be left in the till, operated by people on minimum wage, has been coded by the CEO’s nephew. Sure.

I'm sure they would do the sensible thing and get a big hot shot Japanese tech company to do it.

Yeah how about Fujitsu?

Look, I wasn’t arguing that it was quality software, merely that it wasn’t coded by the CEO’s nephew.
