Yeah, it depends on the transgression.

If it's transphobia and sucking up to billionaires or the Israeli state, you get promoted.

If it's something that is actually viewed as a crime then it's more like this... sometimes.

The message is "you weren't good enough at hiding your crimes, you're making us look bad". Many of them often know about those transgressions, but they'll only distance themselves if they come out to the public.

It was kinda like that over here last millenia but I swear now they are impressed when someone annouces their crimes for all to see or maybe better yet denies them when they are on like video and double down on their denials. They seem to feel if they can do them out in the open they are even more alpha. hur. hur.

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.
