No supremacy or xenophobia, just a space for Nordfolk to talk about things that concerns the Nordics more than other parts of the world.
We’re always bombarded with US defaultism everywhere. And I don’t know about others, but I miss a space where people use the metric system, and topics pertaining to flora and fauna don’t default to North America. Anglo politics are particularly wearisome.
It would be a space for Nordic communities, native languages and cultures. It’s hard for smaller cultures to compete against other dominant cultures, especially on a global level but also European ones.
Is there interest in setting something like this up?
I mean - start small, open up a !Scandinavia Community and grow it. You can probably exclude foreigners by using your languages to an extent (much like there’s both !Germany and ! Deutschland for example) and if you have enough interest, build an instance.
If you know your way around computers, renting a server and then deploying Lemmy via docker is fairly easy. You’ll have to front the costs though.
