United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

It's a tricky one, because there are cases where the accused is guilty, cases where they're innocent, and cases where they've been deliberately falsely accused. Until the trial, they can't fairly be separated, so they should have the right to defend themselves, but, as you say, this can mean that an innocent person is put through something awful by the person who hurt them in the first place.
I'm just glad that I don't have to write the rules around that.
