The mods haven't responded to me in 17 hours, they also seem to have a problem with this community:
There is also beef between them and the other reddit r/Buy_European sub
https://old.reddit.com/r/Buy_European/comments/1j6jeg3/the_other_buyeuropean_sub_is_apparently_now/
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 😄
guess then i'm clueless what the reasoning behind it is. i will just ignore it from now on. really counterproductive pastime
From what I can see, it's just a reddit mod moment.
