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.
Look, they get to make fun of us for our shootings, we get to make fun of them for their loicenses for everything. It's a fair trade.
That's actually xenophobic because the French kick ass when they feel like it. Hell, they're basically the only reason America won independence.
I'm all for friendly ribbing, just a bit tired of this particular one because I saw it used in unsavoury ways too many times (I'd probably argue the same about school shootings jabs, even if that's a bit different). Just spreading a bit of awareness about it, I could tell you weren't being mean or actually using this as a xenophobic argument, but others before you have.
