No offense but are r/europe users really the type of people we'd want to attract here? They have a huge far-right problem.

How so?

I used to partake in r/europe 3-4 years ago, I didn't see a large amount of european far-right polemics.

I haven't used reddit much in years, but i remember racism there being a huge problem. I checked again and it seems a lot of the far right shitheads splintered to another sub, which unironically believes in the great replacement. (/r/europe_sub if you want to see how bad it is) so I guess that curbed down the number of Nazis there.

I don't know how r/europe is nowadays but i probably should've checked, sorry :p

There is a lot of islamaphobia and support for israel there, but its subtle.

Not sure what it was like before, but it's pretty Left now.

I went to r/europe and filtered by Top posts of the last month, they are:

  1. Orbán banned Budapest pride. People of Budapest:F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me.
  2. The U.S. To Lose $29 Billion in Tourism This Year As Europeans Say ‘No Thanks’
  3. Paris (reduces) pollution after they added bike lanes and restricted cars
  4. Images and writings against Bezos were projected ... Fuck Oligarchy
  5. Russian Oil Company Vice President Andrey Badalov dies after fall from window in Moscow
  6. On this day, two years ago, the Wagner Group launched a rebellion against the Russian government.
  7. 140000 people estimated to have gathered at the anti-government protest last evening in Belgrade
  8. Live from Belgrade under barricades! Dozens of barricades are being erected in Belgrade, Serbia, as the regime has begun arresting and kidnapping students in broad daylight.
  9. Trump to send thousands of immigrants including Europeans to Guantanamo: reports
  10. Sweden bans AR-15 as hunting rifle after school shooting – all rifles to be turned in and sent to Ukraine

Well it's a step up over before at least, thanks.

All good, I was genuinely curious. I just don't remember anything particularly racist 2-3 years ago, it was pretty regular posts, some politics of course, but if anything it was more anti-right.

We can scare them off if they come here.
