Having two similar communities on the same topic splits conversations, and give posters decision fatigue

Edit: some topics have consolidated their communities to avoid that, example from a few months ago: https://lemm.ee/post/46935805

Edit2: the UK community has a lot of different mod. The .org community only has one, who hasn't been active since 8 days.

There is a difference between "European" and "EU". A software from UK is also not trustworthy as they are part of the five eyes spy coalition and totally are not giving EU users the protection they have inside of the EU. That also applies to other laws, customer protection and so on.

And in theory even russian gas is "buy european" and nothing good comes from buying that.

Confusingly this one is for European made products, not just EU.
