Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

If you are born in a small country, you're stuck in a small geographic area out of a massive world. I mean sure you can travel, but its really hard to permanently move somewhere unless you have special skills or something.

If your country goes through autocratization, you kinda fucked.

I wish the future just have one "Worldwide Schengen".

I mean, right now we have: visas, passports, citizenships, like wtf. So tribalistic...

I live in the Netherlands. Please don't feel sorry for us, there's a lot of assholes over here, and we've got a pretty good life going.

We do, but our government has decided in all wisdom to reinstate the border patrol because of Islamophobia. Germany did the same thing earlier, so we're slowly going back to pre-1992 days.
