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.

MODERATORS
I've met so many civil engineers who are hateful little tossers, there might (might) be something wrong with the industry in that regard. Or maybe it just attracts macho dudes.
80% are entitled asshats
I guess so. Thought generally all the ones i meet who aren't civils are... well, more civil xD
Source: i study civil eng myself
As a kid and teenager all the people who said they wanted to be engineers were also patently aggressive priviliged snobs. PAPS.
Wait till you meet doctors
All doctors I've met are nice, tbh. Maybe not the case for med students but I don't interact with them much
