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.

urgh, remind me to never follow that advise again. What a bunch of hateful, clueless assholes.
Are they real though, or bots? It's increasingly difficult to tell these days.
As much as I'd like to think they are all Ivans and Vlads from Kamchatka doing this for 50 kopecks, I feel like there can't be that many and with such authenticity, dedicated so hard to that sub.
Like how important is demoralising the already inactive disengaged progresvives really to political power and who has so much time and resources?
The one thing AI LLMs seem to be actually quite good at is generating lots of quite 'real'/'genuine' sounding comments and replies, so it really could be bots. It probably doesn't actually take that much effort either in relative terms, if you decide you want to AstroTurf an online space.
It's a shame because it could basically kill discussion on the internet as we know it. It's mad to think it, but in a few years we could be telling younger generations of a time when we wrote words to each other online and it was reasonable to assume that we were talking to a real person...
