Would something like /r/2westerneurope4u be allowed here?

  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…

    @Lizardking27 @nebulaone Half of the posts were overt racism, not even hiding it.

      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.

  It’s not racist because [insert ethnicity] aren’t people

    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

    Silly in theory, angry in practice.

  Do we really need a subreddit to shit on the French?

  I’ve actually saved the name for a restart but without the racists. The sub was amazing until it turned to shit. I think it can easily work with the simple limitation of keeping the bickering directly Western European. No making fun of others allowed. Sucks, but it will remove racism.

  There's no central authority here who can allow or prohibit anything.

  The highest authorities are the owners of the individual instances, so if any of them choose to allow it (which I'm sure some would) then they will.

    @nebulaone is a Lemmy.World user & asked the question on a Lemmy.World community, I assume the question was directly asking if they'd be allowed to create the community on Lemmy.World.

    In the .World code of conduct, the only things that I can see that might be problematic are:

    • Bullies, trolls and disruptors are not welcome in Mastodon.world. We will moderate accordingly.

    • Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour. Criticize ideas, never people.

    Since the concept of the sub as a whole seems like the above is kind of the entire point point, I think the rules bear mentioning, but as long as it's not directly talking about specific people in the Fediverse, I think they'd be ok based on the written spirit of the rules, as long as proper moderating is done within the community.

    Worst case, OP would just need to find a new instance [as thread OP indicated] or spin up their own server.

  Allowed, sure, but is such community a good idea? I don’t think so.

• Pinedhuitre@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  It is not racism. It is just we are superior to other Europeans.
