That was my post, I'm having a chat with the mods now, hoping they can reinstate the post. a warning would have been nice before removing the post and banning me, but let's see what comes of this.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Trust me, nothing will come of this.

The mods haven't responded to me in 17 hours, they also seem to have a problem with this community:

There is also beef between them and the other reddit r/Buy_European sub

Is the claim that a corporation runs this community to do self-promotion actually based on anything substantial or are they just being weird on Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Seems to be a reddit mod moment. @[email protected] is a mod of the community, but https://buy-european.net/ is a small side project. Ironically, the /r/buyfromEU mods seem to be involved about https://www.goeuropean.org/ , which is more bloated due to using Softr. They also have third-party cookies: https://www.goeuropean.org/cookie-policy

Could maybe be the reason why they want to keep people using that last website, and prevent people hearing from https://buy-european.net/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

but didn't they yesterday say that [email protected] is run by a company? i'm not even mod there afaik. as the europeans-alternatives site is the only one serving ads and having affiliate links, i would assume it's more about them than it is about our ad-free site tbh. but they promote that commercial site explicitly. not sure why they seemingly hate us with a passion... damn it, forgot i didn't want to partake in drama anymore :D

I don't know, the screen above seems to target [email protected] 😄

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

guess then i'm clueless what the reasoning behind it is. i will just ignore it from now on. really counterproductive pastime

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

From what I can see, it's just a reddit mod moment.
