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
Hum, interesting 🤔
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
Trust me, nothing will come of this.
Keep us posted!
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. @[email protected] 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 ![email protected] 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 [email protected] 😄
guess then i'm clueless what the reasoning behind it is. i will just ignore it from now on. really counterproductive pastime
God, the number of confidently incorrect comments there.
Reddit is the new Twitter. Change my mind.
its a censorious shithole, atleast on lemmy i only get downvoted if i write my opinion.
I saw this post and hey at least from what I've seen in the comments some people were corrected and decided to give it a try so it did have impact.
Too bad the r/BuyFromEU team removed it tho
Without you I wouldn’t be here, you did a good job!
Wtf… that’s so wrong
Does anyone know who the subreddit’s moderators are
