United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

This sounds like satire.
It makes me miss old Fark. Does something like that exist on Lemmy? A place where people post articles but make up a new headline for it. I think 2007 was peak Fark.
Yeah, Fark used to be great. That bear headline is a beast.
And then they got rid of the 'foobies' (ie. nudity) links off of the main page in order to appeal to advertisers, then they got rid of lots of extra stuff that upset advertisers, then they started shadow-banning paying subscribers if their posts didn't fit the narrative. And then all the users got fed up of it all and moved ever to Reddit, where the mods were more transparent and there was more of a sense of community. How ironic.
If your core site content is users posting links and commenting on them, then there's probably a lesson to be learned about how important it is to treat your users well and have a welcoming, inclusive community. Probably a lesson that Lemmy users have already learned, mind.
hey shoutout to fark.com I used to love that place hung out there from about 1999 onwards,
1999 Fark crew represent!
Yeah, this feels like it sbould be on "Not the Onion", wtf

Well fuck me, it's real. Eat the rich.
More like the Conservatives didn't target those with lots of money, those who can make reasonable adjustments, instead focusing on those who already have very little.
Imagine being that out of touch.
I would love to hear his definition of transparency, because presumably it includes taking bribes.
I don't think The Telegraph are capable of that
