As a Canadian, I’ll support you EU.
I just hope you’ll support us too!
I’d love to see our ties grow stronger as a sane counterweight to the madness happening south of your border.
Oh you bet! I subscribed to CBC Gem and watch Pornhub 😆
Both have some surprising content
North of North is good
We do support Canada!
We’d love for you to join as the 28th EU state!
Wait, what do you mean “We are good just the way we are, sorry”? What if we gave you Greenland? (you can have the Suez canal too)
The last time Trump was in power I thought we should get much closer to the EU, potentially as a member
I look at Europe’s worker protections and privacy protections as a model we all should follow.
Is Greenland in the EU, or is it a Danish territory that is explicitly outside the EU?
Greenland is not in the EU because of the Fishing Quotas
Probably good though, Denmark pumps in 500.000.000€ per year for just 50.000 Inhabitants and it’s still not really great to live there…
Only if you deal with all the french people 🙃
!buyfromeu@feddit.org for those who would like to subscribe the community.
There is also !buyeuropean@feddit.uk.
Ah fuc*… I’ve searched for it, but probably I didn’t get the results I wanted… sorry for the duplicate!
Does it make sense to have two identical communities? There are duplicate posts already…
No not really… I will postpone thinking about it to later this day (after sleeping)
I’d keep it. People can subscribe to both, and I often find myself looking for goods in EU stores (aka. not UK, sadly) so I don’t have to pay ~30€ handling fee + tax. I know that OSS exists, but it’s rarely apparent whether any given online store uses it.
I mean the UK isnt part of the EU and there are significant differences in law and trade stuff so its not a clear cut answer.
Feddit.uk is not just used by brits
Yeah but the community is called buyeuropean not buyEU
This is true. !buyeuropean@feddit.uk is for whole Europe and not just EU (the community logo is bit misleading atm).
It’s of course ok to have a more EU specific community but I personally think Lemmy isn’t big enough to have so much fragmentation and incredibly specific communities (yet).
But we can link to !buyfromeu@feddit.org from our community if OP decides that there is need for EU specific buy-community. Fediverse is free and both communities share the same goal: support closer economies!
If the decision is not yet made: I think us Europeans, whether EU or not, should stick together and focus on c/buyeuropean over c/buyfromeu. For one thing, Ukraine, Moldova, and the Non-EU countries on the Balkans are the most in need. For another thing, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland have serious high-tech goods and services to offer – and breaking the near-monopoly of the US in tech is arguably the most important thing to work toward right now. Similar with the UK, and while it is somewhat iffy with regard to privacy regulations and because of its Special Relationship with the United States, the Starmer government is the most pro-European government the UK has had in years if not decades, which is something we should cherish, especially now that the US have become an antagonist. Not to forget the enormous support the UK has given to Ukraine.
Lemmy Explorer is a great tool to see if a community already exists :)
Would you like to become a moderator?
Looks like a brexit trap
From any of your home instances :
!buyfromeu@feddit.orgIs this just for the EU or Europe in general?
deleted by creator
Yes!
