For those who don’t know: It’s a subreddit where Europeans shit-talk other European countries and could be considered racist.

If not on Lemmy.world specifically, it’ll be allowed somewhere (even if you had to create a new instance to host it)

The wonderful thing about federation is that everything is allowed, it’s just a matter of how much your neighbors want to tolerate you.

I’d definitely subscribe, sounds like good fun.

It’s a great sub on the old place, very funny - it’s joking, banter, only really racist in so far as making fun of national stereotypes (I am a Brit so would expect to get mocked about inability to cook, what a good move Brexit was, our tourists being the most drunk and sunburnt etc)

I don’t see why anyone would object to it being made but it would definitely need good moderation because there are going to be people who take it too far especially with Nazi/neo Nazi/other political shit (basically it does have the potential to be racist if idiots who don’t get the joke join)

A community like that has to be heavily moderated. Most user will get the joke and will shit on each other in good faith.

But it will always attract those who can’t understand sarcastic humor or those who will use the community to post outright racist shit. That’s what happened to the sub when I left and afaik the same happened to the Balkan version which had to be banned?

Just sort out the trolls and bad actors and you will be fine I think.

My experience with that sub on Reddit was that they were more serious than not. So basically it was garbage.

I don’t think I can manage that alone and guarantee that it doesn’t get out of hand. So I will refrain from creating a similar community.

Allowed? Sure.

But that whole sub was super fucking cringe and I’m pretty sure not all the racism was in jest, so…

I personally have not made that experience on there. The sub seems very pro-Europe. Then again I didn’t check by new, so my feed may have been filtered already.

No, it’s not like I checked it obsessively but whenever I did check in I definitely did not see anything that upset anyone, or that would be likely to upset anyone. I’d agree it’s a pretty pro-Europe sub.

However my previous point stands that any bad stuff had probably been modded out because you would need a pretty dedicated mod team for a sub like this.

It’s all done in good spirit, although you occasionally have some borderline racists, which are usually banned.

I remember a Finnish user posted a racist meme showing brown immigrants as savages.

The rest of the week was the subreddit shitting on Finnish people lol

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
