United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

He's not wrong. Reddit will survive, it might just be a bit different. But that's what they want anyway. They want to be the next Instagram or WhatsApp - locked down to the max. The people that are left don't care about openness or 3rd party apps.
I agree. It will survive. But it will change, even more so now. Fewer posts on the smaller specialist subreddits, and more posts on the wide defaults. Or perhaps, more "questions you could search the wiki for" posts on specialist subs, and fewer specialists hanging around to answer the same questions over and over.
They've managed to bring a wider audience in, and an audience less likely to block adverts I would bet. But it seems to be a bit of a race to the bottom. And there is always another bottom.
Yep, I've been looking for an alternative to all the tiresome karma whoring, my own included, for ages but every one, like voat, was ran by some right wing nutjob
I'm liking this fediverse thing
The big fediverse advantage, is that nobody is stopping people setting up a platform.
The restriction on people being really shitty, is by other sites not federating with them. Which I think is really smart. The truly horrible places can exist, but they're self-restricted to only places that are willing to endorse their crap.
Yep i know.
Latest issue always felt like a mod and older user revolt. Which is the people other platforms would benefit from moving over.
