- "We are a group of individuals from across Europe who connected via the subreddit r/BuyfromEU."

Then, why do you promote a list of European Reddit "alternatives" such as "Lemmy", you say people are supposed to use instead?

This is the laziest form of internet activism there is: lecture people what you believe they're supposed to be doing in ways you don't yourself do, and can't be inconvenienced to try.

(Bonus points for building this boycott website on top of Amazon Cloudfront, Cloudflare, and Google Analytics).




Nobody seriously claims that Europe should be self-sufficient in everything and isolated from the rest of the world. It’s ok to simultaneously 1) try to make things better, and 2) still talk to Americans or use American products (same for China). Discussing alternatives does not imply burning bridges.

They can be on both? Lots of users on reddit to reach.
