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.

Fuck this. Freedom has costs, a few seconds of noise ain't a big deal

A single loud exhaust can wake up 10,000 people. The impact on mental and physical health if this happens a few times a night is immense.

Motorists had their chance to not ruin the world for everyone else, and they failed the test. Time to intervene.

I'm not saying that it can't be a problem for some people but again that's the cost of freedom people are allowed to make their own choices with what they purchase and what they do. if you don't like that you are totally free to remove yourself from the situation any which way you see fit.

Your suggestion is that people experiencing antisocial behaviour that affects their health and wellbeing should just move to a new house? Where the same thing can easily happen again? And that we, as a society, should do absolutely nothing else about it?

Deranged take, worthy of a 'libertarian' teenager.

The freedom of one ends where it infringes on the rights of others.

Keep your noise to yourself dipshit. Get a life beyond your motor vehicle and stop inflicting your bullshit on the populace you inconsiderate garbage.

What are your hobbies so we can call you a cunt for having them?

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

yeah go ahead and jump to conclusions... just because I support people's rights to make their own decisions about what they own and what they do doesnt mean I do those things myself

Freedom has costs: fitting a silencer or using a quiet vehicle is not a big deal.
