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.
From login/paywalled Financial Times article that this is citing:
Wow, 1/3... that's not "decimated". There are still enough people on there that it frequently gets referenced. This post and article are proof of it. Shit article.
When it it's down to 5-15% of what it previously was, then we can speak of "decimated".
Historical definition of decimated: reduce by 10%. Not to 10%.
Modern definition: reduce by significant amount.
