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.

Crack on Reddit I'm Done Anyways.

I was mainly a lurker on reddit with only occasional posting. But I'm done with it anyway now. Always felt a little uneasy as it was like the last social media 'product' i consumed after purging all other mainstream ones.

This latest drama has just shown the company management of a single website is making changes in view of its own profits. I thought i was a user but maybe I'm a customer. But have no interest in that. I'm free now.

Think I'll float about the fediverse for a while. This is 1st post so might not actually work ha

15 years in the bin :-\ but if i'm honest, i only liked the jerk reddits these days.

the mains subs were soo big as to be useless, there were powerful unregulated networks of mods who ran like 40 - 50 subs.... thats not at all healthy.

actual content, although we miss it, was really thin.

wont take a whole lot to replace it. i'm not a big poster, but i'm committed to trying to get this off the ground.

as for reddit, it will survive for now. there are plenty of middle of the road uses to make money, plus, a lot of people will go back, sadly.

Do you genuinely feel its time/effort in the bin?

I know it will actually feel like a bereavement to some (not saying you specifically) but if it was all good at the time then was it not still worth it?

I'm sure reddit will continue for now, but with a lot less of use
