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.

The objection is to disposable vapes. That the anti-vaping lobby gets a boost from them is just another reason to hate them if you see vaping as the means to make smoked tobacco obsolete, as I do.
They're an environmental nightmare and they are marketed at kids, not just people who are trying to give up smoking. Don't get me wrong, if kids are going to experiment with nicotine (and some of them inevitably will) then it's much better they do it with vapes than cigarettes. But that is not a reason to market vapes to children, nor to have batteries discarded several hundred charge cycles before they're dead, nor to litter the planet with masses of single-use plastic.
