Afterthoughts

(I obviously started with the list of countries in the European Union+Swiss+UK). The list could be extended for all countries on the European continent.

  • ℹ️ To keep the list manageable, I'll link to english resources first, whilst indicating the other native languages. This is based on the idea, that anybody reading this should be capable of understanding English, and be able to to navigate the page to its native version.

Where to start?

The term prepping can be applied on several levels and means a different thing to different people. From an US American context with broader landscapes, sparse population and fragile delivery routes, to Europan countries with dense population where help seems to be nearby in hours.

Each individual needs to assess their situation and the personal risks for themselves. As a result of that risk assessment people should come up with plans and prepare their techniques and environment accordingly. 
Always having in mind that these topics can lead to a rabbit hole everyone has to decide about the sane and proper level of preparedness. Some might be fine with a bottle of water and a blanket in their car, others might want to prep a whole Get Home Bag to make it through more challenging terrain.

In this post we try to collect some information on where to get started.

If you have noteworthy sources, feel free to share them. The post will be updated over time.

Where to start?

In the last weeks several databases and websites emerged around the idea of buying European, or local.

Coming from different communities overviews of products and services can (for example) be found at the following websites:

If you are using Firefox or Chrome you can be nudged to do better by using the opensource Go-European-Plugin:

(If you know any other starting points feel free to comment.)

[Vote] BuyFromEU or buyEuropean

Update 2025-03-05: Vote is in favor of keeping this community. This post is unpinned and locked.

TLDR: upvote if you want BuyFromEU to stick around.

Hi folks, new mod here.

There are two quite similar communities on different instances. Some users - coming from the different place - are in favor for abandoning this one, fearing a split and unecessary separation of users for an important movement. I'm not so sure if the other one is a substitute. Also - to be honest - I dislike the agressive, relentless style some users use in a -if you will- foreign community.

Procedure

  • An upvote on this post means this you want this community to evolve. I would then proceed and search for more moderators and try to keep this a productive, interconnected space.
  • A downvote means you are in favor of abandoning and settling with the other community.

You can use the comments on this post to express your feelings in a civil manner.

I'll finally check back in about 48hours and take a look at where we are standing.

Edit:

BuyFromEU

Moin, moin,

ich habe gerade die Moderation der Community ![email protected] geerbt und wollte mich hier kurz abstimmen, ob etwas dagegen spricht, das von einer anderen Instanz (lemmy.world) aus zu machen.

Im Groben würde ich erstmal die User dort fragen wollen ob die Community weiter bestehen soll ( es gibt Konkurenzdruck von feddit.uk ), dann würde ich ein Team an Moderatoren suchen und vorläufige Regeln aufstellen.

Würd das so passen, oder gehe ich irgendwomit gegen die nettiquette des Servers?

Gruß

[META] moderator ascension

Hi, it seems like I just got designated additional moderator for this community. This happend without any further communication with mod or anyone, so I'm pretty suprised.

I need to sort out if this was by accident, how it came to be, and where to move from here on.

Come abroad this journey and stay tuned 😂

[META] feddit.uk's BuyFromEU

Hi guys,

let me be upfront and blunt, just so this issue gets addressed early on.

There are two communities on two differnt servers. feddit.org/c/BuyFromEU and feddit.uk/c/buyeuropean. They significantly differ in daily traffic/contributers and amount of moderators.

One user of feddit.uk is quite vocal about his community being the real deal and puts a lot of effort in onboarding redditors in his community.

Acknowledging the viewpoint and reason ( META Discussion ), I don't like how he is kind of overstepping placing his solution in any context, like it is the only real deal.

His arguments might be valid in some points, but the style is really poor.

Nonetheless, unmoderated communities without traction fade out by themselves and don't need artificial accelration.

To be honest it is upto @[email protected] what to do with this community and to see if he wants to step up and put more moderators in place, or not.

I would prefer to have both communities to evolve in whatever directory they are heading, without interfering.

In the end informed people can subscribe to both and decide for themselves where they want to contribute.

Edit: one user, not moderator.

Are mortars still a thing?

With all the overhauls, new factions and vehicles and command abilities: are mortars still a thing?

As I get bored of dysfunctional squads I would like to join servers with two novice mates (as most commonly locked two man squads are forbidden) and to wreak some havoc. The two guys are turned off by the complexity of squad and the new ICO, but I could imagine using them as FOs and let it rain.

Alternate approach (to integrate them) would be to have a 3-man kind of recon squad 🥲

Expectation management

Hey Steve,

its been a while since your last occurrence, when you and your buddy re-assured your commitment and explained some time of absence: fine with the most of us. But since then: silence.

Some of your early customers already moved on and wrote off their invest.

Could you please step the game up a little and start managing your community and maybe our expectations? For example you could share a rough roadmap, just so we know, that you are still on it and your community issues were heard? Or take half an hour once a week, biweekly or monthly to communicate your progress and what you are up to?

Best wishes a early stage customer that already resorts to other clients

PSA: Sawyer Mini Counterfeit

With black week and some headlessness I bought my second Sawyer Mini on eBay. I hoped for a sellout, but when I received shipping information from China and was not able to cancel the order, I already knew whats going down 😂.

Anyhow, I received a cheeky counterfeit and am now talking to Sawyer and eBay. I'm not worried about the money, it is more like these filters can be life threatening and should be pulled from market.
