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.

awe shit i see a future where games start having expiring dates built in : (
I guess it's nice to know it should stay up t'ill then, but if this gets popular devs would have to protect themselves by setting a deadline instead of letting it free. Right?
Like instead of giving people tools to self host servers or some kind of long term support, they'd think it easier to just say the game dies then and publishers would just use that as default
IMO (In My Opinion), that would be a good thing.
Knowing is better than not knowing.
It would also give devs who want to let you keep your games a way to stand out.
Honest question here… If you’re going to put “In My Opinion” in parenthesis, why not just skip the “IMO” part and type it out right from the beginning?
For people who might not have seen the acronym before.
I'd like to see a seal of quality/logo on games that have guarantees in place to keep working indefinitely.
