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.

Ooof do I really need a /s on this?
What has the internet come to?
Lemmy is chock full of people who cannot see sarcasm more than Reddit. Like, almost every post on The Onion community has a handful of users who don't understand satire at all and have very oniony breath.
I'd sooner pretend I didn't read the article than admit that was my idea of wit
Is this sarcasm? OMG I can't tell anymore 😭. If yes please add /s.
It is the year 2025 and reality has unraveled to such an extent that Poe’s Law has the made the /s mandatory on all occasions of sarcasm or satire.
