United Kingdom
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.
I skate there most weekends and theres a lot of crazies in bethnal green, i think theres a few half way homes for a psych hospital in the area. You dont know if he was actually homeless or trying to get you onto a quiet road to rob you or maybe worse. You were right not to. Dont lose sleep over it. Ive never had a homeless person ask me that in the lifetime that ive lived in the city.
I saw that there are plenty of weird people as well. How do you stay safe in the area?
Avoid eye contact. Dont use the shortcut through the green at night if you are alone. Usual London protocols ๐
Through the green? Like through parks?
