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.

Are they completely stupid?
Why would you allow a private company, a foreign one to offer digital identities?
I was up for this a number of months ago. I'm now on the same page as you!
I mean, we let it handle payments, track our locations, carry around a microphone and camera, read our emails and texts, listen to our phone calls and track everything we do online.
What's one more thing at this point?
We already have a semi privatised identity system with the PASS card scheme for proof of age, its government backed but the actual physical and digital IDs are provided by various public and private groups.
