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.

It's a transport app. Not the code to the nuclear defences.
that’s not my point. it’s the assumption that anything tax payer funded should be open source by default.
as a tax payer, I’m not sure I want other countries freeloading on our investments.
"I have helped pay for something good. More people could benefit from it, at no additional cost to me. But I'd rather they not."
Some people can't help but look at the common human endeavour and think, "this tower is getting too tall, God should punish our teamwork."
Ugh. Money is a curse
Thank you sir for making this planet a living hell
Maybe you should only use it based on how much you paid/contributed. You don't want to free load off other tax payer's money
I do, when those investments can be copied for free
“You wouldn’t steal a car”, but if you could download one from the internet the world would be a better place.
Great point. If someone else may derive value from it, then it is a lost cause and no one should have it.
Ugh. Money is a curse
Then it dies as an investment, relegated to the halls of decay like other closed source apps as soon as it loses relevance
