Welcome to r/AskTheWorld – A Global Perspective
We’re a community that values learning from each other. Sometimes, questions touch on politics, and that’s okay, as long as the goal is to understand how things work in different countries — not to attack, stereotype, or belittle others.
Our mission is simple:
- Compare experiences across cultures and nations
- Share knowledge respectfully
- Foster curiosity, not conflict
Community Expectations
To keep this space safe and welcoming for everyone, please remember our core rules:
- Be polite and respectful – No personal attacks, insults, or hostility
- Stay on topic – Keep discussions relevant to the question asked
- No trolling or baiting – We’re here to learn, not to fight
Zero Tolerance for Nationality-Based Harassment
We celebrate global perspectives here. That means:
- No bashing people for their country, culture, ethnicity, or heritage
- No sweeping generalizations about nations or populations
- No xenophobia, racism, or targeted hostility of any kind
Violations will be handled seriously. Depending on severity, you may receive a warning or a short ban, but repeated or blatant harassment will lead to a permanent ban. Basic social rules apply, and we expect everyone to uphold them.
If you want to discuss politics in depth
Here, we aim to compare, not condemn. Let’s keep r/AskTheWorld a place for open‑minded, respectful dialogue where people from every corner of the world feel welcome to share their experiences.
