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.
Only commenting because I can't down vote on my instance. This is repulsive MRA fluff from a consistently misogynistic writer. Nothing to add because its not worth platforming.
There's an odd tendency amongst certain sections of society to immediately dismiss issues that other people are experiencing based on disgust at some of the people airing the issues. Just because someone unpalatable to you co-opts the issue doesn't mean it's a none-issue.
If we want to stop being surprised by things like Brexit and Donald Trump being elected then attempting to silence discussion like this above piece isn't going to help.
These youths need a national jobs program, with training and then sent all over the country to repair and maintain the infrastructure of the country that is likely in disrepair.
Give people purpose and they might gain a drive to either do good at that job or do anything they can to get a better life outside of work.
As for the misogyny, make feminist pornography the only porn available at worksites. I don't know, that one is a harder issue to fix.
