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.

I know some small UK-based forums have shut down (such as the hamster forums) and a Lemmy server has cut off the uk (because the owner lives in the UK, despite hosting it elsewhere) but what sites have announced plans to geoblock the UK?

I see that Civitai is. Anyone else?

Lemmy.zip blocks UK users but I don't see why they would bother to defederate with instances based off it.

If anything it should mean lemmy is a potential way to resist this sort of thing, as long as some instances are directly accessible in the UK then anything they federate with would also be accessible through it.
