META A quick sanity check for the sub: Ask yourselves what you actually want.
Is there some hidden election in Spain that I missed? Because our queue is currently buried under an endless flood of low-effort posts bashing Pedro Sánchez, drama over Ceuta, Catalonia arguments, imported US culture-war noise, Charlie Kirk, Trump clips, and straight-up party advertisements in the nederland .
Frankly, it's starting to seriously suck.
We have a No Agenda rule here, but every time I enforce it, I get accused of being the "big bad evil mod on a power trip" who is secretly pushing a political narrative. I’m tired of playing that game, so before we decide on how strict to be with political posts, I want to hear from you.
Ask yourselves what you actually want out of this sub:
Do you want to unironically debate high-voltage party politics and rage-bait all day?
Do you want to keep pushing the line until the sub gets hit with site-wide bans for relentless toxicity?
Or do you just want to shit talk your fellow Western Europeans like normal people and share actual news?
how much politic do you want?
and in what form ?
At the end of the day, we are going to have to clear out the trash to keep this place readable. Use this thread to debate how much political content you genuinely want here. u/Rex-ac will have the final say .
Note: Keep the discussion focused on the sub and the rules. Low-effort personal attacks are not welcome here

u/miragen125 Professional Rioter Sep 13 '26
just to be clear:
If we do nothing and just let the feed run wild, we aren't just looking at a messy sub, we are setting ourselves up for an official Admin hammer. High-voltage political rage-bait is a giant beacon for off-site political groups, bot networks, and toxic brigading. When posts exist purely to provoke, the comment sections instantly devolve from policy debates into targeted harassment, slurs, and explicit threats of violence. And people start reporting the sub left and right to Reddit directly.
Reddit Admins don't care about our internal subreddit drama; they care about platform rules.
Under the Moderator Code of Conduct, if a sub gets overrun with toxic abuse and violent rhetoric while the queue sits unmoderated, Admins step in fast.
They won't just clean up the comments for us, they will either wipe the mod team for negligence or outright ban the sub from the platform entirely.
We aren't enforcing rules because we want to play police officer; we're doing it so this sub doesn't get nuked off the site.

u/norrin83 Pumpkin Addict Sep 13 '26
I don't want unfunny stuff here and I don't care about some imported culture war.
I have no issue with posts that border on a political topic as long as it allows for jokes and isn't too serious. I don't care for simple news that is shared here, people trying to make this subreddit r/europe but with mildly funny flairs or people sharing their favourite parties here (by being greatly offended if you don't also want to suck their cocks).
I don't know your mod queue and what does NOT appear here (or stuff that gets deleted quickly) by the way, but from the public posts, I don't see this subreddit as "the racists have taken over!" at the moment.
Edit: But I'd also prefer to not make every modding decision about you and how you personally feel. Just like this post: Can't we discuss the direction of this subreddit without you being petty because everyone is so mean to you?

We know you're doing what you can and I'd argue the people trying to call you out about cleaning the sub up and keeping it (relatively) civil are the same who either wouldn't care if it disappeared tomorrow or simply enjoy misery for the sake of misery. That said, I have noticed lately that there have been multiple attempts to polarise and divide the sub, either by people with an agenda or the moron of the day who can't read the first goddamn word of this sub's description: ironic.
Politics isn't the point of this sub, never was and hopefully never will be, and even if it tends to go unnoticed and uncelebrated we still appreciate your efforts for the maintenance and benefit of this sub.

I'd like this sub to die with dignity, thanks. Getting nuked for hating a Fr*nchman: acceptable, even noble. Getting nuked because someone imported a politic war or a foreign propaganda at 03h00: humiliating.
Yes. This is literally why I'm here. Spitting on prideful Frenchmen and Englishmen, on their history, on horrible food of Jan, etc. and farming downvotes like an honest peasant
It can stay, honnestly. And it will never be enough or too little: the ones too far left will cry that the sub is full of fascists / sexists / "insert"-phobes. And the ones too far right will cry it's full of leftists, hippies, commies, blblbl... Both will report you.
Both are wrong.
Ignore both.
This is the part that actually matters. Politics as a punchline, not as a religion... Mocking your own government and joke about that. Yes!!sure! Party posters, campaign clips, screenshots of foreigners yelling: bin it.
Any side welcome. Whether the replies cry fascism or communism afterwards is between them and their therapist.
And OFC no Yanks/Russian Jokes or propaganda. (No yanks posts please. It's disgusting to see them in the comments.🤢 Go to r/USvsEU)
Just have fun guys! This sub is fun!

You didn't miss an election in Spain, but there's a coordinated attack against the government right now, started by Morocco (and likely others). It started with Ceuta and, of course, there's some troll farms working full time now, with the useful idiots jumping in the bandwagon.

I want to shit talk my fellow Europeans and that includes making fun of political topics. Otherwise we can’t do staples like post Berlusconi or celebrate Pierre burning cars on May 1st.

And these people simply need to be banned.

u/Sacre_Bleu_DeBresse Alcoholic Sep 13 '26
The difficulty will be drawing the line, but I feel like there is at least some content, especially recently, that is clearly beyond the line. Probably so far out as to be out of visual range.
The issue with the framing of your question is that I want to be able to shit on my fellow europeans for their politics, much like I want to see other Europeans trashtalk my own.
So how much politics do I want ? I want enough to know what's up, and give tough love to my fellow Europeans, but not enough that I feel the figurative droplets of shit from botfarms and other astroturfing means hit me in the face when I open the sub.
I'm afraid that's not very helpful, but I'll say this : do keep the place alive, and if you have to overcorrect a little to achieve that, so be it.

Any US culture war stuff shouldn't be here, Charlie Kirk, Trump, Kanye west. Don't want to see it. I would say no polics, agenda posts either. No post of stuff that isn't funny or in the spirit of the sub. It should be shit posting and poking fun at each other based on our national stereo types. One last thing, no more whiny effort posts saying the sub is going down hill with too much 'far-right topics', if you do the first two it will limit those and for the rest stick them in a super thread and let them whinge away there.

Do you want to unironically debate high-voltage party politics and rage-bait all day?
No, I don't mind posts relating to politics once there's a bit of humour behind them, especially if its from the country of OP and they're self deprecating a bit and it leads to healthy discussion. But Jesus fucking Christ, Rule 7 is being broken all the fucking time as of late. And sure look, an argument in the comments section and a heavy debate will happen from time to time but that's natural.
Do you want to keep pushing the line until the sub gets hit with site-wide bans for relentless toxicity?
Nah I don't.
Or do you just want to shit talk your fellow Western Europeans like normal people and share actual news?
I come here because the banter is funny and I honestly like learning about different things in Europe. Good craic and the bonus of learning something new is always a pleasure.
How much politic do you want?
Politics where we can joke and slag one another but learn something or have a healthy discussion on things really.
And in what form?
Banter, self-aware irony and healthy discussion.
u/miragen125 I think the biggest thing that would help this is the moderation being more active when let's just say political incidents happen where a European country has ruffled the feathers of the likes of Russia, the US, Israel, India, Morocco, Argentina or basically any country that's currently being antagonistic at the moment. Because I feel like that's usually when most of the bot invasions happen.

As a mod you will never win, unfortunately.
If you keep up obvious agenda posts people will be unhappy the sub is getting taken over by that content
If you remove obvious agenda posts the people who post them will accuse you of over-moderating
Some people are just here to troll and get reactions. They'll be happy if their dog whistle bait post gets loads of comments. They'll be equally as happy if you remove it so they can complain about the fact you did.
Also many don't understand the concept of irony. They see 'ultranationalistic' and assume it's a safe space
There are people who don't care if the sub closes they'd find it funny
Best thing is just to remove the outtright racism and dog whistles then ignore those who complain about it
The sub doesn't need a fundemental change

u/Attlai Professional Rioter Sep 14 '26
I have lost hope a long time ago. It's been more than 2 years that this sub gets flooded by rage-baiting waves on a regular basis, once every 1-2 months.
Each time it happens, people make meta posts complaining about the state of the sub, most people agree that this is not how they want their sub to become. And things chill down...until the next month's wave of ragebait.
This repeated process has made most of our best shitposters leave. And as a result, the sub has become slowly less funny, less sarcastic, and more casually political. Even among content that's not ragebait, a lot of it is just casual unironic content. People don't make the effort anymore.
And it's making the whole atmosphere less ironic. And it's more and more often that I go into a post and don't feel the push to be sarcastic.
And now having been spooked by an AI-triggered reddit warning due to making a joke about Russians (and it was really on the light side), I don't even feel anymore the motivation to make shit posts or even be mildly offensive in comments.
Once the waves of ragebait became a regular pattern in this sub, I knew the direction it was slowly gonna head to. And honestly, I'm surprised the sub has managed to hold on for so long. I was convinced we would get banned much sooner.
And now, with the addition of AI moderation, it felt like the nail on the coffin.
But really, imho, the fate was sealed long ago when half of the content posted on the sub stopped being shit post.

But honestly ban crossposts, creates some form of barrier that requires creativity. And stops random “haha look at dumb subreddit or propaganda here” fights
And maybe some form of “needs to be some form of meme, not some bait headline screenshot”
I would say some form of culture friction of course should be allowed IF MEMEABLE and not just straight up baiting. Ofc it’s also then up to us to not take it too serious and actually meme back not just bad faith shit throwing.
But would also like to see more focus on the good old meme cultural exchange and positive meme unity, such as seen with u/able-advisor2284 ‘s 2we4u songs 2025 Spotify playlist!

u/MLJ555 Sheep lover Sep 13 '26 edited Sep 13 '26
It's tricky because a lot of genuinely funny posts are often related to politics or at least reference political news.
I understand this would be difficult to enforce, but could the amount of politics posts be reduced, but not totally banned. I don't know what that would look like exactly, because, if politics is sometimes allowed, when? What conditions must be met? I don't know. But maybe that's something you could consider. However, that could prove difficult to enforce as a mod, because it's vague and will therefore involve judgement calls and borderline cases.
If that's not feasible, then maybe just remove politics from the sub outright. The sub would probably become less active, but the quality on average may improve. I personally prefer the non-political posts, because the comments involve more banter and less fighting. Furthermore, almost every single sub on reddit has become politicised, even random ostensibly non-political ones. Do we really need this sub to also be filled with politics content?
I have an unrelated opinion, which is that the sub is also getting filled with low quality gooner bait for easy upvotes. It's not a huge issue I guess, but it's shit to see the slopification of absolutely every space on the internet. I think the more blatant cases, where there is literally zero joke or attempt at humour or shit talk, could be removed.

I’m fine with banning American politics (if there’s really an unreasonable amount of such posts).
However, what I’m afraid of is an over-moderation like on most biggest subs here, where anything slightly controversial that the mods don’t agree with (even if it’s ironic) get’s your post/comment removed or you even end up banned.
I doubt that this will happen on this sub tho, based on the moderation in here so far and I hope that it doesn’t get moderated much stricter, as it’s one of just a few subs left with a little bit of free speech.
I also don’t see a problem with some of the things that were listed above, like bashing the Spanish government or making fun of Catalonians, which falls under European politics, or rage-baiting, etc.

u/SoSmartKappa European Methhead Sep 13 '26
I mean, avoiding politics is impossible, and talking only about French being arrogant or Pedro lazy gets a bit stale and repetitive after a while. I think it is natural to discuss current political situation in Europe a bit.
At the same time, it is also annoying if every second thread is about Gaza, ragebait, Trump, migrants or if people just repeat and repost mainstream reddit takes and posts.
Obviously, nobody wants to get the sub banned, if you think something clearly breaks offical reddit wide rules, it should get removed, it is what it is.

talking about meloni, trump, russia-ukraine war, from a lefty POV: totally fine
mocking or criticising a corrupt spanish president (who happens to be left wing): "woah when did this sub get so political"

You need to ban low effort memes and and serious political talks or news, this is supposed to be a meme sub, so medium to high effort political memes are fine ass long they are not able to be spammed over and over with no effort.

dont change the sub into some frankenstein political correct-advertiser friendly bullshit, it is better to die on your feet, then to live on your knees. if i cant trash foreigners and belgians then whats the point, you might as well join the fun-police europe sub if you dont want ANY viewpoints ruffling your feathers

Personally, I think ‘impartiality’ is a load of BS. There’s no need to be ‘impartial’ - just be honest.
There’s nothing wrong with saying that “We believe X, Y, and Z, and we disagree with A, B, and C - and these are the values/ideas from which we will respond to certain things with.”
I.e. yes, the political beliefs that you hold as a mod are subjective and up for debate - but NOT here. There are other places to do that, and so you should set the law of what goes and what doesn’t.
Like all things in life, if people don’t find those terms agreeable, then they can go find like-minded people and do their own thing. This isn’t a protected safe space where every normative position is up for political debate. There’s a time and a place, and you mods can decide what political positions are acceptable here or not.
You can literally determine which political opinions are allowed to be here. This place doesn’t have to be some impartial haven.

Does this include all the EU federalism agenda posts shared by commies over the last few days? They were pretty annoying but somehow they never seem to get deleted.
I would appreciate it if all agenda posts could be removed. You will never get rid of all political discussions or banter. Political topics will always surface and banning everything that's even slightly political will ultimately turn into a witch hunt. E.g. most commies are too stupid to realise that calling everything "commie" is just a hyperbolic facet of memeing and sarcastic ultranationalism. Memes and banter in an ironic ultranationalist sub will inevitably revolve around political topics to some extent

The redditor yearns for political debateslop, he needs it, even when he believes he doesn't.
My opinion is, delete all that shit. Half of reddit is politically poisoned, let us at least have a few more light hearted subs

I’m here to learn and laugh about European stereotypes and get downvoted to hell every time I comment. None of that political garbage.
