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.
They still have this post open: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1j0xkqa/lemmy_as_an_alternative_to_reddit_using/
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.
