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.

That makes sense, thanks! Personally I agree with your approach.

I asked @[email protected] in another comment how they were going to handle posts like this one, that link to your site (https://feddit.org/post/8682570).

either they remove the post because it's not strictly EU
either they accept it, but then [email protected] and [email protected] become de facto the same community

It might become a valuable resource either by people manually deciding by the listed country if they want to use the company/product or once we implement labels that highlight EU based entities. So if it's okay for the post to stay in the EU based community, great. If not, understandable too.

That would be nice indeed

Yea. And I answered, that it is up to the new team of moderators. This isn't a one man-show, but the question if should set this up probably with a team of mods and some yet to be determined guidelines.
