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.

Yes, it's classic Donning-krueger.
Anything that would disprove your confirmation bias is simply filtered out.
Which is it - "Donning"-Kruger or confirmation bias? And why are you still talking to me if you think I'm incapable of changing my mind? Lmao.
You obviously haven't observed enough of me to justify this judgement, and hence there's no evidence I can offer you to convince you you're wrong. So with you having long abandoned any attempt to argue your case and instead just browbeating me, I certainly don't find any compelling reason to continue talking to you. Bye.
If we interact again, try to imagine yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn't hold your opinions, and shape your argument to convince that person.
Donning-Kruger means a permanent confirmation bias, so it's both.
If we do talk again, I'll try to put myself in the shoes of someone who is euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessings. But because he is enlightened by his own intelligence.
