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.

Would love to see more news outlets doing this.
Breaking News: Fox News has defederated NPR, PBS, BBC, NYT, Washington Post, The Associated Press, CNN, MSNBC, and various other mastodon instances run by what they deem as "the liberal woke media". MSNBC defederates Fox News in retaliation.
I know you're joking but it wouldn't make much difference to users if news organisations defederated from each other, most users will be on 3rd party instances.
You know a large portion of the FOX audience would only use their echo chamber of an instance.
These sorts of instances are private - you can't sign up to them, only the new organizations post on them.
Where is it written that a corporate instance has to be private? Just because this one is doesn't mean every single one would be.
It would be funny to watch though
