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.

Yes, context is important, and as a disabled person I have the context of seeing people all over the internet call for an end of disposables and single use plastics literally all the time without ever once considering the impact that would have, so yes, context is important, and if they didn't mean disposables shouldn’t exist altogether, they shouldn't have said that. Or at least not be surprised when somebody points out the issues with such a generalisation.
One things for sure - the reddit migration did nothing to improve this community...
Please stay on Reddit, I think your way of communicating is much better suited for over there. Speaking for myself I think you make this community much worse than someone missing a piece of context in a comment.
Bruh you literally just commented on how prisons are slave labour
You well know all disposables should be phased out aswell. They may provide a place in the medical and food fields but we can come up with alternatives given time
One has nothing to do with the other, but I'm glad you got a good stretch this morning!
As a fellow disabled person. Simmer the fuck down.
Their comment was clearly in context of the title, regarding disposable vapes.
And actually, you did nothing to improve this community or comment section.
I'd say have a nice day, but please don't.
As a fellow cripple, you gotta find some chill, my homie.
