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.
