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’ve been using DuckDuckGo and not really missing google. I hope people start to use it less. I’m helping with our work machines and even though we need to use Chrome I’m going to encourage us to switch the default search engine to DDG.

This is such a dumb take from Google. "Oh yeah? Well all this stuff we do isn't worth doing anyway!”, your shareholders cool with that chief?

Or is it possible that this limited study that only targeted a handful of countries and only included one of the three biggest economies - which was then removed from the test without reason - is a load of PR horse shit thrown out in a limp attempt to sway public sentiment for political sway?
