If the decision is not yet made: I think us Europeans, whether EU or not, should stick together and focus on c/buyeuropean over c/buyfromeu. For one thing, Ukraine, Moldova, and the Non-EU countries on the Balkans are the most in need. For another thing, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland have serious high-tech goods and services to offer – and breaking the near-monopoly of the US in tech is arguably the most important thing to work toward right now. Similar with the UK, and while it is somewhat iffy with regard to privacy regulations and because of its Special Relationship with the United States, the Starmer government is the most pro-European government the UK has had in years if not decades, which is something we should cherish, especially now that the US have become an antagonist. Not to forget the enormous support the UK has given to Ukraine.
We at !buyeuropean@feddit.uk decided to keep the community since it also already has nice posts from e.g. Ukraine and Norway and for the same reasons you mentioned.
Again, it’s totally ok to have both communities and we link to !buyfromeu@feddit.org but sadly it seems OP hasn’t been online since they went to sleep and haven’t been able to contact them about possibly linking to us as well.
