TLDR: upvote if you want BuyFromEU to stick around.

Hi folks, new mod here.

There are two quite similar communities on different instances. Some users - coming from the different place - are in favor for abandoning this one, fearing a split and unecessary separation of users for an important movement. I'm not so sure if the other one is a substitute. Also - to be honest - I dislike the agressive, relentless style some users use in a -if you will- foreign community.

Procedure

An upvote on this post means this you want this community to evolve. I would then proceed and search for more moderators and try to keep this a productive, interconnected space.
A downvote means you are in favor of abandoning and settling with the other community.

You can use the comments on this post to express your feelings in a civil manner.

I'll finally check back in about 48hours and take a look at where we are standing.

I don't understand your problem. Why don't you keep both communities alive? It's probably even interesting in the long term for each country to set up its own community to buy locally. If it's really interesting, then make a crosspost in God's name. This isn't Reddit, where everything revolves around karma or user numbers. Free yourself from these standards. No user will be bothered if they subscribe to both communities.

Hi, I'm the wrong person to ask. I got MOD by accident and am willing to give this community a new spin. There are some few people who are against two communities. But to be clear, I'm in favor for this community to stay and am on your page.

There is no such thing as an official community for this movement, if you want to call it that way.

I don't think you got MOD by accident! The original MOD deleted their account and you posted quite regularly... so it seems to me.

I also DMed him if he needs help organizing stuff. I expected a lovely message with hearts and roses ❤️🌹, instead I got MOD...

Well, that was a fast track promotion 😄

Well, fuck... I'm so sorry this happened to you! Should we call an ambulance? 🌹❤️😄

It is fine. It’s the second community I inherited (the other one is stale, though).

But thanks to the kindness of your last message, I’ll survive.
