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.

Only 4x? Not sure what UK rates are like, but it could easily be 10x that in the US.

The US does pay significantly higher, but with enormous costs (afaik).

My senior full stack engineer position would be about 60k/year at the government, which is a significant income to Dutch standaards.

My monthly costs are around 1400 per month, the rest used for savings and fun.

Yeah you're right, immediately thought I'd low balled it.
