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.

That’s called survivor bias mate.

So you do me a favour and grow the fuck ~~yo~~ up you clown.

Edit: Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on entities that passed a selection process while overlooking those that did not.

Honestly this is like my hobby. Seeing you struggle and argue, while you can't form coherent sentences is cathartic for me. Hugs are great, but this... I like this.
