A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

They do this in Europe too though (not with the US flags, obviously).
Norway is particularly famous for flying the flag everywhere.
Fair, I have also seen plenty of flags in Denmark.
As a German it weirds me out. We don't do that kind of nationalism any more.
Switzerland also. People have proper flagpoles in their garden, it's quite stange.
I see a good bit of flag waving in the Netherlands as well. In France though I'd be weirded out if I saw one besides on official buildings and stuff.
Yes, if you see a private home in France with the French flag, you'd pretty much assume the people living there are far right extremists. Normal people use the Brittany flag instead.
