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.

Yes-ish - werenโ€™t most of those store-brand technically produced by (in this Case Lidl) in Europe ? ๐Ÿค” I get the point though ;)

The brand is still USAmerican, for me that counts :)

Ah sorry my bad I was only seeing the Lidl store brands on the middle shelves and didnโ€™t pay attention to the lower. Yep ๐Ÿ‘

Where I live, the workers turn them the right side again. Waste of time, don't rely on this to navigate the boycott.
