Community and moderator requests and nominations for unmodded communities.

No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.

Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

having a comm called USA tells them that they're one country among others; not having it (using /c/politics etc.) tells them they're the default, reinforces the mindset that everything is centred on the USA unless otherwise specified

could we make it /c/ameriKKKa instead?

I approve of this if and only if anyone who posts in the USA comm gets a 🔻 over their profile picture.

I’m in solidarity with the underlying problem, and I’m a Burgerlander myself.
I would suggest 🍔-specific comms for the most problematic ones, like c/politics and c/news, and to update the sidebars, referring people to those alts for 🍔-specific posts.

Edit: Has this issue not been litigated before? I ask because it just seems very likely that it would have been by now.
