United Kingdom
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.

TheGrandNagus hit the nail on the head perfectly, but as someone who actually does read the FT every now and then, I'm genuinely shocked they even published this.
Granted, it's under an "Ask Shrimsley" thing, but for a hot minute I was reading it like a normal FT article thinking "what the actual fuck?"
It honestly reads like the comment section of the FT, not something that should've been passed through an editor and published.
