They also banned @[email protected]

Without you I wouldn’t be here, you did a good job!
We’ve known this for actual years now. Reddit has made it crystal clear, talking about competition is absolutely not allowed. But they aren’t controlled by China dammit, you’d be crazy to think that!
Holy non sequitur batman
Without context, maybe, but if you start connecting all the dots over the years, it’s not far-fetched nor off topic.
Sure I get your first few sentences and even agree there that reddit doesn’t want positive talk of competition, but what I’m failing to see is where China comes in to play here beyond the fact they have some ownership stake in reddit. Do you think they’re driving this policy, if so what makes you think it’s them and not any of the other 100 rich assholes with ownership stakes?
I joined Lemmy because of that post. So thanks to OP and whoever recommended the app Voyager
Damn, feels like I’m the one who told you, lol, I love Voyager and Lemm.ee.
reddit mods’ authoritative feel is something you can’t dare to snatch lol, those neckbeards would run (for the first time ever in their life) to give you the ban hammer /s
Seems like the mods from r/buyfromeu on reddit don’t really want european alternatives to win when it means them leaving their subreddit in favor of something actually european
There is some drama between the r/Buy_European and r/BuyFromEU subs.

Hum, interesting 🤔
Another one. I don’t know why, but I think the comments were too much about lemmy/fediverse.
Well, seems quite relevant as answers to that question
You can use https://old.reddit.com/r/Buy_European instead, the mods there are chilled.
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.
Keep us posted!
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
https://old.reddit.com/r/Buy_European/comments/1j6jeg3/the_other_buyeuropean_sub_is_apparently_now/
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?
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/
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] 😄
guess then i’m clueless what the reasoning behind it is. i will just ignore it from now on. really counterproductive pastime
From what I can see, it’s just a reddit mod moment.
Trust me, nothing will come of this.
God, the number of confidently incorrect comments there.
Reddit is the new Twitter. Change my mind.
its a censorious shithole, atleast on lemmy i only get downvoted if i write my opinion.
I saw this post and hey at least from what I’ve seen in the comments some people were corrected and decided to give it a try so it did have impact.
Too bad the r/BuyFromEU team removed it tho
Does anyone know who the subreddit’s moderators are
Wtf… that’s so wrong
