      Yes but that’s not the official flag which rather my point. They would rather have a giant and pointless arguement than an identity.

          What are you talking about? That is the official flag of the country of Wales. Just because it’s part of the United kingdom doesn’t make this flag any less official.

              It’s not the official flag, it’s just the flag that everyone associates with Wales but there is no official Welsh flag. That’s just the one everyone’s ended up using but if you look it up there is no standard definition for what the Welsh flag looks like.

                  In 1959, after successful lobbying by the Gorsedd of Bards and others, Queen Elizabeth II made the red dragon on a green and white background the official flag for Wales.

            (Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

            Rules (2024-08-30)

            1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
            2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
            3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
            4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
            5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
            6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
            7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
            8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
            9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
            10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

            (This list may get expanded as necessary.)

            Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

            • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
            • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
            • on Hungary: Euronews

            Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

            (Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

            Ban lengths, etc.

            We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

            If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

            If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
