I joined Lemmy because of that post. So thanks to OP and whoever recommended the app Voyager

reddit mods' authoritative feel is something you can't dare to snatch lol, those neckbeards would run (for the first time ever in their life) to give you the ban hammer /s

Seems like the mods from r/buyfromeu on reddit don't really want european alternatives to win when it means them leaving their subreddit in favor of something actually european

Another one. I don't know why, but I think the comments were too much about lemmy/fediverse.

Well, seems quite relevant as answers to that question

Is the claim that a corporation runs this community to do self-promotion actually based on anything substantial or are they just being weird on Reddit?

Seems to be a reddit mod moment. @buyeuropean@feddit.org is a mod of the community, but https://buy-european.net/ is a small side project. Ironically, the /r/buyfromEU mods seem to be involved about https://www.goeuropean.org/ , which is more bloated due to using Softr. They also have third-party cookies: https://www.goeuropean.org/cookie-policy

Could maybe be the reason why they want to keep people using that last website, and prevent people hearing from https://buy-european.net/

but didn't they yesterday say that !buyfromeu@feddit.org is run by a company? i'm not even mod there afaik. as the europeans-alternatives site is the only one serving ads and having affiliate links, i would assume it's more about them than it is about our ad-free site tbh. but they promote that commercial site explicitly. not sure why they seemingly hate us with a passion... damn it, forgot i didn't want to partake in drama anymore :D

I don't know, the screen above seems to target !buyeuropean@feddit.uk 😄

buyeuropean@feddit.org · 3 pts · 1y

guess then i'm clueless what the reasoning behind it is. i will just ignore it from now on. really counterproductive pastime

Reddit is the new Twitter. Change my mind.
