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.

Which different viewpoints would people on [email protected] and [email protected] have?
I still have to find anyone no wanting to use https://www.infomaniak.com/ because they are Swiss.
Splintering the conversation means that an interesting information in a comment will only be seen be the people reading that community’s crosspost and not the people reading the crosspost in the community.
And if we expect people to post all of their comments and posts twice so that both communities have all the content, why not consider merging them?
Exactly. That’s how crossposting works. Nothing bad there. Otherwise we can just close all servers and start over with only one instance for everyone and call it reddit.

They all died because one community became “the one”
The reason parallel communities still exist is usually because there is an ideological issue between the two.
What is the reason behind the existence of those two communities except the fact that the creator of [email protected] wasn’t aware that [email protected] existed?
Feddit.org and feddit.uk have similar moderation policies and rules.

Hey. You keep repeating yourself, even copying all your messages by the letter. We heard your point, we just don’t agree.
You used a hyperbole about how consolidating two communities would as well bring up back to Reddit. I provided counter-examples to show that it’s not the case.
It is not a hyperbole. Just imagine posting a link to an awesome new game in a PC, a console and a general gaming community. Discussions will unfold in different ways.
This section is new, you still haven’t answered it.
See, what you don’t get is: what will be moderated and what not, is up to the team of moderators that choose to take over this community: if at all. This post is about if we should give it a direction at all.
