  • Locked as this doesn't add to the #buyFromEU discussion. It compares American out-dated prices with recent hardware from China while being (image)-hosted at reddit.

  • You keep on mixing up two things. One the reason you got banned and calling me/us power tripping.

    Second point the discussion about a merger. I take it that merging is so dear to your heart, that you fight for it. That is fine, and well. What you don't get is, that other perspectives have validy, too. You keep on ignoring that and bringin the discussion to each and every community. Sometimes even in an hostile and toxic manner (lemme.ee) .

    In other words: you seem to be quite fixated an numbers and have a rough, even hostile commnication style, even victimizing yourself, without telling the whole story and inflaming drama. Why would I want to merge in such a community?

    Also: how come, you can not accept the deciscion of others? Isn't that trippy itself?

  • If your logic applies, we should never have left reddit .

  • See. What I don’t get. If you’re against a community, just don’t participate. You wouldn’t walk in somebodies living room and start a conversation on how much you like the other dudes place.

    Just go to that other dudes place and enjoy the better company.

    That way all people can do things they enjoy.

  • Hi, the critizied, accused and power-tripping mod here.

    Not adding something to the debatable merging discussion, which sure can be a talked about and is even talked bout at other places, and now here again.

    The perspective missing is, that a team of mods, even of other communities talked about the course of action. Reason is, that I'm quite new to moderation, and I did not want to overreact. People native to the instance decided to stick with the community, and the debatable vote added weight to that sentiment. One guy brought the topic up over and over again and tried to position an alternative community instead of adding content to both communities.

    Other mods recommended to ban him for a week or for good. I decided to engage in communication and asked to postpone discussing that issue in that particular community. Also I asked to stop gurilla advertising another commiunithy while that community was in a built up phase.

    After futile mitigation attempts a 3 days ban, coordinated with about 3+2, mods was applied.

    This is my whole power trip, and I'm so addicted to it, that I onboarded more mods and employed a voting system, so that banning only happens, when no other way of settling an issue can be achieve.

    Edit: The full ban reason was. "Recurring egress linking without providing content for siphoning users. Promotion of community dissolvement." The textfield was a little small.

    Where to start?

  • Mm. I did that on purpose, so a newcomer sees all the categories and possibilites eventhough he is not yet searchig for something specific.

    After all it is “Where to start?“ and not about a specific search.

    Name the alternatives

    Hi guys, I want to expand the sticky "Where to start?" article with a section about switching services and digitial products (or have a post about that?).

    Many alternatives where already discussed and I can look them up on the alternatives webpages. But if you want to name alternatives that are underrepresented, feel free to support me here.

    (Based on various sharepics) these topics came into my mind, did I miss anything essential?

    Where to start?

    (Repost with author change)

    In the last weeks several databases and websites emerged around the idea of buying European, or local.

    Coming from different communities overviews of products and services can (for example) be found at the following websites:

    If you are using Firefox or Chrome you can be nudged to do better by using the opensource Go-European-Plugin:

    Okay. This really is a movement. I’m wondering how big it is after all? I mean there are several reddit and lemmy communities, but aren’t that only rather small groups?

    Coming from @[email protected] as a post comment. He also mentioned These 10 companies control everything you buy dated 2017.

    This may help navigate brands and brand owners.

  • They started Iris2 back when the full scale invasion started. There is another European sat constellation (I don't remember the name) that could be a stopgap. Beyond of that using OneWeb sats is discussed.

    Moderators wanted

    Admin meinte, ich könnte mich hier melden. Im Matrix bin ich schon vorstellig geworden. Ich hatte die Community geerbt und versuche der nun eine Richtung zu geben.

    Anbei der Post aus der Community.

    TLDR: say hi if your want to help moderate.

    Hi folks,

    this community needs you 🫵… well, at least 1 or 2 of you to moderate (and the others to do what they do).

    I'm looking for about two further moderators. The community is not too big and traffic not so high(, yet) and I’m sure we can handle that in a small group.

    Preferably these people should be feddit.org natives and be ready to use Matrix chat for quicker communications.

    Overall I imagine only few necessities to moderate but if bigger decisions need to be made, a transparent consensus oriented process shoud apply. If consensus cannot be reached we might need to Ouija first Mods will 👻.

    After assembly First steps would be to talk about how to shape this communit
