uhhh "boykot varer fra USA" is either norwegian or danish, i'm having a brainfart and can't decide which but it's DEFINITELY not swedish and i'd be surprised if a significant amount of swedes reliably interacted with a community that isn't in swedish or english..

Danish. Norwegian would be "boikott varer fra USA"

[–] Zier@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

Danish.

Definitely Swedish. "Från" is exclusively a Swedish word, in Denmark and Norway we use "fra".

He's referring to one of the examples in the text, not the one in the image.

I see that now, my bad! The "fra" one is either Danish or Norwegian, yes.

I suspect Danish as we use "boikott" in Norway.
