This is a very important topic, but please in future observe the rule as stated in the sidebar:
Please donโt post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk. Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Ah yeah sorry. I'm not entirely sure what counts as politics and what doesn't ๐ feel free to remove one of the posts if you wish
It's okay, I'm not super-fussed about it happening as a one-off, more intended as a 'for the future' reminder. The rule's mainly there to make sure people don't spam about their hobby horses, and this obviously isn't that!
Obviously there's a grey area with 'UK' vs. 'UK politics'. I'd say this is more 'UK', whereas an article about a parliamentary or governmental response to the same would be 'UK politics', if that makes sense.
Please do keep posting stuff!
Thanks for the kind response and the helpful hint towards what's what :)
"... a staggering 224 years in Glasgow"
Unless we're talking about trans Glaswegian vampires this seems desperately unlikely.
An eye-opening new report has revealed some trans adults are waiting decades, and in some areas, centuries
No, nobody is waiting centuries ๐
Absolute monsters.
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.
