Just wanted to drop a quick message in to say thank you to those who put in the news articles here... I was getting frustrated with the poor journalism across different mainstream news and really appreciate your efforts summarising everything here.

I felt like just a stat for websites like BBC news clicking up views to then guide them on what news stories to focus on publishing, and what to not publish... First world censorship at its finest. At least now I can just read the content here.

The autotldr bot also saves a lot of time from having to read extra non-value text that journalists pump in to make stories longer.

I do wonder what happens if feddituk is shutting down, hopefully this community and these news articles continue... I'd hate to have to actually go to the BBC news site again ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Thank you to you and all those growing Lemmy ๐Ÿ™ 2024... the year of everyone migrating to Lemmy.

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.
