{{proper name|r/European}} was a [[Far-right politics|far-right]] [[White nationalism|white nationalist]] subreddit focused on news relating to [[Europe]]. It was founded in 2013 after {{proper name|r/europe}} banned [[hate speech]]. Its users often promoted anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, and racist content, and an informal survey showed that 17% of the sub's users openly identified as [[Nazi]]s.<ref name="vice-subs"/><ref name="fivethreeeight">{{cite web|last=Martin |first=Trevor |title=Dissecting Trump's Most Rabid Online Following |website=FiveThirtyEight |url=https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/dissecting-trumps-most-rabid-online-following/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220824195602/https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/dissecting-trumps-most-rabid-online-following/ |archive-date=August 24, 2022|date=March 23, 2017 |access-date=September 4, 2022|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="vox-european">{{cite web|last=Romano |first=Aja |title=Reddit's biggest Trump community is fracturing over right-wing extremism |url=https://www.vox.com/2016/5/21/11701482/donald-trump-subreddit-drama-europeans |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210920062137/https://www.vox.com/2016/5/21/11701482/donald-trump-subreddit-drama-europeans |website=Vox |archive-date=September 20, 2021 |date=May 21, 2016 |access-date= September 4, 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> The sub was set to private by its moderators, and in 2016 it was quarantined by the sitewide administrative staff in response to a post where a user bragged about [[assault]]ing a Muslim [[refugee]].

=== r/Efilism ===
r/Efilism was a subreddit centered around the philosophy of '''EFILism''' (life spelled backwards), a radical extension of antinatalism that views all life as inherently harmful due to the suffering embedded in biological existence. Members discussed topics such as the ethics of reproduction, ecological extinction, and pessimistic takes on consciousness, often citing the ideas of controversial online figures such as Inmendham. The subreddit was ultimately banned on May 18, 2025 after being found in violation of Reddit's self-harm polices. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-19 |title=Reddit bans an anti-natalist group after Palm Springs explosion |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/reddit-bans-anti-natalists-palm-springs-explosion-rcna207677 |access-date=2025-08-22 |website=NBC News |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-19 |title=Was ‘efilism’ the extreme ideology behind the Palm Springs fertility clinic bombing? |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/palm-springs-fertility-clinic-bombing-efilism-b2753937.html |access-date=2025-08-22 |website=The Independent |language=en}}</ref>
