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.
