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.
It’s not racist because [insert ethnicity] aren’t people
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.
Angry or silly?
Silly banter type stuff. Pretty funny
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.
It is not racism. It is just we are superior to other Europeans.
Especially Swedes
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.
