The irony of doing this and then posting it on reddit though...

The irony of the /r/BuyFromEU mods not even linking to Lemmy, but only IG and Bluesky

To be fair, they probably get closed if they link to lemmy, no? I don't know how hostile reddit is towards lemmy nowadays.

I agree, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Reddit probably don't make that much money per user. If using Reddit makes more people buy european that probably has a bigger impact per person. If I buy 10 european groceries instead of American, then that probably affects the US economy more than a year of Reddit use.
