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.

Having lived in Australia and New Zealand and spent time in Chicago. British houses are horseshit.
Don't even need heating in standard UK temps if the building is insulated. Air to air heat pumps are amazing, induction is amazing, no issues with electric water heaters.
Living in fucking 1975. But everyone's ideal is trying to upgrade to a 1850 wood burning stove. Buy a fucking heat pump and some insulation.
My parents 1741 house with new double glazing is like that - cool in summer, hot in winter without even needing the heating
I'm amazed that we collectively forgot how to build houses but I guess 2ft thick walls make a dent in the size of the living space and you've got to build a box with paper thin walls and no garden to optimise that
