Update 2025-03-05: Vote is in favor of keeping this community. This post is unpinned and locked.

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.

Right, it’s not a big difference, but it’s at least something. Both communities can coexist and if they have something that differentiates them, all the better. For some people, it doesn’t matter that much. For those people that do care about the distinction, they can focus on their preferred community instead. In the end (as other people said), it’s fine to join both of these, so I don’t think it matters a lot.
