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 nice to see the option becoming available for when it's needed, but the use cases must be incredibly niche right now, or people get suckered onto it through ISP marketing.

In a house of 5 people we were rarely maxing out our 80/20, and only upgraded to 300/50 because it was the same price.

yes most people don't need it now, but then again most people didn't need 80/20 that long ago, as bandwidth goes up, use cases will go up. For me full fibre upgrade will be for more up-bandwidth more than anything.
