United Kingdom
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.

Instead of incessantly banning and censoring everything that might be remotely harmful and kicking the can down the road, perhaps we should be focusing on education and tackling the problems that make social media so toxic to begin with. It's not by accident - these platforms are for-profit businesses and they benefit from encouraging toxic behaviour in the name of engagement.
You want an actual solution to the problem instead of a fake solution that will generate other problems for those in power to take advantage of (like censoring, reducing privacy etc.)?? Wow.. I'm with you
