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.

That's assuming it's actually people and not bots driving "engagement".
Is there really enough people signed up to a Telegraph account to provide 172 comments on a minor story within a day of publishing?
I don't know, maybe, but I'm dubious.
The telegraph's main demographic is lonely, angry, retired gammons
I can 100% believe there are a shitload of them spending their final years vomiting bile into internet comment sections, completely earnestly
God I hope you're right, but idk, I can imagine that Telegraph readers self-select for bot aspirancy.
The biggest hint is the names. People who are assholes online LOVE to hide behind anonymity. It is very surprising that 3 people in a row said heinous things using their real names like that.
