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.

"But not all screen use is equal."
I think this is key. Curated, age-appropriate, educational content vs engagement-maximizing, algorithmically selected slop. Parents need to be in control of what kids watch, not tech companies.
Honestly toddlers shouldn't have any screen time. Even the 'good' kind is brain rotting.
Supervised age appropriate is better than the alternative. The problem is burned out parents using the iPad as a babysitter while they try to have a moments rest. I am not a parent, but I don't know what the solution really is at this point.
A village. Community. Something increasingly disappearing in the hyper individualised UK.
Help. Help to raise the child(ren) that doesn't cost money for every minute used.
The abolition of capitalism. The root cause for the destruction of our communities.
