Getting a bit frustrated about the BuyEuropean / BuyfromEU situation. Now there's even another one, !BuyFromEU@europe.pub. I tried to bring the argument that too many communities on a niche topic splinter discussion with the admin, but they still want to keep their community open.
!europePub@europe.pub for people interested
Don't be (it will not help you and it won't change a thing). Not forgetting that they're free to do whatever they want. No one is right or wrong, it's just... not ideal as it is ;)
Also, seeing how this is becoming kinda trendy topic relayed outside Lemmy I would not be surprised to see even more appearing. Say 'use-european' 'Support-european' 'made-in-Europe' (this one has my preference :p) and their obvious mirrors 'made-in-the-EU', 'support-the-EU', and so on.
I don't know about the other users but I can't be bothered with too many similar communities (2 is really a maximum as far as I'm concerned, after that it's just a mess that requires way too much time/energy from me to get anything out of it). So, I will ignore trends and focus on those communities whose moderation/participation I appreciate the most ;)
My main frustration comes from the fact that instead of building a community together, we're competing with the 3 different versions of the same community
No >:[ buy from MY Europe
Yeah, that's what it feels like indeed 😅
