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.

Right, its nearly impossible to talk about changes in society as a wholly quantitative thing. Nominative identities are 'fuzzy', they shift, are created by peoples, and create peoples.
Nevermind the unsubstantiated claim that there are fewer people with sexist beliefs today than in the past--what we can say, and indeed what really gets to heart of the matter of the interplay of forces in society, is that an identity, or "global person" has emerged--first as descriptive and then as something consciously taken on--set apart from the rest of society in an antagonistic relationship that as its entire foundation is predicated on sexiat beleif.
IDK there is a bunch more that needs to be said. Lot to unpack in that original comment...
