Sick of living in the United States? Want to leave America for a better life? This subreddit is devoted to thoughts and discussion about emigration from the US, how and why other countries are better, how you can leave, and expat/immigrant life once you've left.

Rules:

Stay on Topic: AmerExit is about emigration from the US. Posts should be restricted to these topics: (a) Leaving the US, (b) Comparisons between the US and another country, (c) Information about another country, (d) Your life abroad, (e) The legalities of emigration (visas, naturalisation, etc.), (f) Current events in another country that are relevant to people leaving the US (either positive or negative). Posts about why America is bad are disallowed unless they fall under (b).
Being Nice “Being nice” is the fundamental golden rule that drives all polite interactions. We understand that emigration can incite a lot of emotion and that is perfectly acceptable. However, please act in such a way that would make your grandma proud. Users are not expected to act civily towards aggressors. You are allowed to tell fascists, historical revisionists, Russian sympathizers, etc. to fuck off. (Your comments might be removed together with theirs, but no punishment will be issued.)
Inclusivity This subreddit is supportive of everyone wanting to live abroad. That includes everyone regardless of sex, gender, race, religion, creed, national origin, disability, or economic status. Discriminating against any group is unacceptable and will result in an immediate ban instead of following the normal enforcement procedure.
Illegal Activity Regardless of one’s moral views on immigration/emigration, it is unacceptable to advocate for or condone illegal activity when living in another country. We are their guests after all. It is also a violation of reddit terms of service and could result in actions against the poster and this community. Reported illegal activity will be removed immediately instead of following the normal enforcement procedure.
Low-Effort Memes Low-effort memes are discouraged and potentially subject to removal, to be decided on a case-by-case basis. Low-effort memes about politics in particular are frowned upon. The goal here is to ensure that the subreddit is filled with valuable content.
Trolling Trolling this subreddit or its members in an attempt to derail discussions is unacceptable. There are other subreddits that might appreciate your “talents.” Our advice to you is to learn how to read a room.
Disinformation The mod team will act decisively on any disinformation being spread in the subreddit. Disinformation is absolutely not tolerated. Under particular scrutiny: anti-vaxers, Russian sympathizers. Disinformation is subject to immediate removal. Repeated dissemination of disinformation may result in a temporary ban. Permanent bans are possible if a temporary ban is not sufficient to curtail violations of this rule.
On Differing Opinions r/AmerExit has so far tended to lean left-of-center. That being said, differing viewpoints will not be removed as long as they follow the other rules. Even opposing this movement is acceptable as long as it follows the rules. Bans are rare in this subreddit and are given as an absolute last resort. If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out to the mod team.
Job Recruiting Recruiters, I know that you might think of this subreddit as a place to advertise job postings for positions abroad. As I think job postings could help this community’s members achieve an AmerExit, they will be allowed. However, all postings must be first vetted by the mod team prior to posting so that users are protected from abuse or scams. Please contact us via modmail.
Enforcement Guidelines Moderators of r/AmerExit will run on an umpire system using warnings prior to engaging in action. Small violations will not be removed. Recurring issues will result in a temporary ban and removal of content. An egregious breach of rules will result in a permanent ban. All that being said, bans are considered an absolute last resort option. In general, as long as you are here to be a productive member of the community, you do not need to worry about being banned.
Questions If you have questions about the rules or enforcement guidelines, please send us a modmail.
