I joined Lemmy because of that post. So thanks to OP and whoever recommended the app Voyager
- reddit mods' authoritative feel is something you can't dare to snatch lol, those neckbeards would run (for the first time ever in their life) to give you the ban hammer /s
- Damn, feels like I'm the one who told you, lol, I love Voyager and Lemm.ee.
Seems like the mods from r/buyfromeu on reddit don't really want european alternatives to win when it means them leaving their subreddit in favor of something actually european
- Hum, interesting 🤔
Another one. I don't know why, but I think the comments were too much about lemmy/fediverse.
- Well, seems quite relevant as answers to that question
- Trust me, nothing will come of this.
- Keep us posted!
God, the number of confidently incorrect comments there.
Reddit is the new Twitter. Change my mind.
- its a censorious shithole, atleast on lemmy i only get downvoted if i write my opinion.
I saw this post and hey at least from what I've seen in the comments some people were corrected and decided to give it a try so it did have impact.
Too bad the r/BuyFromEU team removed it tho
We've known this for actual years now. Reddit has made it crystal clear, talking about competition is absolutely not allowed. But they aren't controlled by China dammit, you'd be crazy to think that!
- Holy non sequitur batman
  
  Without context, maybe, but if you start connecting all the dots over the years, it's not far-fetched nor off topic.
Without you I wouldn’t be here, you did a good job!
Does anyone know who the subreddit’s moderators are
Wtf… that’s so wrong
