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.

Personally i think we should be embracing them
TBF, E-assist bikes, yeah. But the modified ones that don't use pedals and are actually classed as electric mopeds - that dickheads ride all over the pavements at huge speeds, while uninsured and uninsurable? Nah. They can get in the bin.
Almost exclusively - round here, at least - driven by drug de;livery boys and wannabe gangsters.
Here is the issue, it's not the bikes, it's the nobs that ride them. Policing should be harm lead, focus on the people being idiots not bikes.
Almost eveything bad is due to the people using them rather than the objects themselves.
