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.

Crack on Reddit I'm Done Anyways.

I was mainly a lurker on reddit with only occasional posting. But I'm done with it anyway now. Always felt a little uneasy as it was like the last social media 'product' i consumed after purging all other mainstream ones.

This latest drama has just shown the company management of a single website is making changes in view of its own profits. I thought i was a user but maybe I'm a customer. But have no interest in that. I'm free now.

Think I'll float about the fediverse for a while. This is 1st post so might not actually work ha

I knew Reddit was heading in a crap direction since they launched the whole new layout/design. Then the ads started creeping in more and more, then I noticed when they added social media account integration into personal profiles and don't even get me started with the NFT avatars. It's become a steaming pile. It makes me sad to see what's happened. I met my partner on there just over 3 years ago and now we live together! So I will always be thankful for that, but I'm done with that site.

Not all bad then! But yeah its a just company running a website now (with lots of essential free dedicated labour). What ever is was before it isn't now

When they added following profiles. I know it's normal for twitter or whatever but in reddit it felt stalkerish.
