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.

a change in Google’s search algorithms last year to prioritise helpful content from discussion forums appears to have been a significant driver.

Maybe an opportunity for reddit!

I don't love Reddit but I prefer it to TikTok. So I would say this is slightly good news.

Reddit can be it's own thing. If you need a discussion on a topic, it has it's own search. If you're searching for an article on something, you now have to wade through the sponsored results, the Reddit posts, the YouTube videos, the tiktok videos...

Basically, I think people will soon get sick of every Google search leading to a site with that smug Reddit mascot cunt if you ever dare use your VPN, which then contains 20 posts discussing the issue with no answer or solution, before moving to the next, identical Reddit thread result.

Another contributing factor is the TikTok website just doesn't fucking work half the time and the only support they offer is a misconfigured AI prone to getting stuck in loops.
