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.

As Ron White says, “you can’t fix stupid”. Seems to be an epidemic of it out there. If only there were a shot you could take…
I think the Ron White comment is pretty stupid, which leaves us with a nice paradox.
You might not be able to fix people who are willfully stupid. You can certainly try to prevent people from being sucked into the whirlpool of misinformation
Then they would not take it!
The sad thing is Ron White fans think he's talking about people who take vaccines. It wouldn't surprise me if he was anti vaccine.
In this case you can only hope stupid is a self correcting course
