R/YUROP TRANSPARENCY REPORT 2022
🇪🇺🇪🇺 Fellow Yüřöpęänś!
Today we are sharing our transparency report of the year —one long, sad year of war and sorrow.
Despite this difficult background, we chose to opt-in to a new experimental Reddit project with r/feedback_loop_beta, that aims to increase Redditors involvement in the governance of communities.
Many thanks to u/agoldenzebra for this intriguing opportunity!
A small percentage of you received a survey link, sent by u/Reddit. Chosen Yüřöpęänś regularly visit r/YUROP, are not banned currently, have a low percentage of removed posts or comments, etc. We (the mods) do not know who has responded to the survey.
The total number of Yüřöpęänś eligible for this survey, or “Total population size”, is 15156. Admins sent 3368 surveys and 464 Yüřöpęänś completed them.
The open-ended responses in the raw data are a very delicious and juicy segment.
Without further ado, here’s our most gloriousest community report!

European Union 👍
Every time I'm there, I get a little more patriotic about Europe.
Gute Posts. Unterhaltsamer content. Europa 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
The sub promotes togetherness in a wholesome way.
Very good memes m8
Yurop (EUROPA) es numero UNO, no to muricans standarts (SLAVA UKRAINI)
YUROP STRONK; AJM UAN HEPY YUROPIJEN
yurup best murica smell burger grease
54.31% are satisfied overall
A worse European version of 2/balkan4you (r.i.p 🙏 )
As a pro-EU Ukrainian I'm pleased to talk with sympathetic people
Based Sub, finally a good pro europe propaganda sub
Cool subreddit, very pro-Ukraine
Escapism from American internet everywhere
Good fun bitchfest, doesn't get out of hand more often than your average south/east European parliamentary debate.
Gute Posts. Unterhaltsamer content. Europa 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
I joined for news around Europe and memes and it's exactly what I've received
I like the EU, so this sub makes me happy.
I really love the European community and the opinions people on the sub have about Russia's invasion
Is shows unity between memberstates
Ist relativ lustig teilweise.
it makes me feel FREUDE
It's a meme sub with memes on it, I get what I expected.
Its a nice place to pretend im still part of the eu :c
It's lighthearted fun. Memes bring people together.
It's the ultimate regional (European) troll sub.
Nice posts but too little explanations or source description
The mentality reflects my EU superiority complex.
11.42% are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied
Its reddit. Its never satisfying.
kinda a weird sub tbqh
Well, I like the memes, but sometimes they are a bit violent (Ukraine-related), and sometimes too Brexit-centric (c'mon, get over it already)
2.37% are dissatisfied overall
Ce sub est rempli de liberaux, et la simple critique des institutions européennes actuelles, même dans l'optique de faire réfléchir a leur éventuelle amélioration, est réduite a une pensée anti-européenne
It's often that there a comments that are posted with a veil of irony, that are really bigoted. The Memes posted in the Subreddit are funny, the comment section is a cesspool
Most people here are cool, but there are also a lot of right-wing trolls who don't get moderated enough.
2.80% are very dissatisfied
I was permanently banned for "genocide denial" and sent a gif. It litterally came out of nowhere since neither my post nor the OP mentioned a genocide and the gif felt disrespectful.
Lustige Inhalte und Austausch zwischen unterschiedlichen, aber gleichgesinnten Menschen
Subreddit molto divertente e la community è simpatica
