Europe keeps building social apps no one wants

I keep seeing people say “The EU just needs to invest more in tech and social media apps,” and like… no. That’s not the problem. More...

I tried to correct them there: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jtooq4/europe_keeps_building_social_apps_no_one_wants/mlvrugy/

    Links are valuable, but there needs to be some comments with them to make it feel like it’s worth sharing.

    I’ve noticed a trend on the europe.pub community, it has literally only crossposts from other communities and 0 comments

    Examples:

    • https://feddit.nl/post/31756346
    • https://europe.pub/post/140516
    • https://feddit.nl/post/31722849

      For now it is only one person trying to generate content to be attractive. I’m sure strategy will change in time.

        Let’s see. I’m not sure why anyone would choose to post there compared to established communities like !europe@feddit.org or !buyeuropean@feddit.uk, but everything is possible

          The European domain and European breakway room has some appeal and might meet the zeitgeist. Actually I’ve proposed the same to some admins but didn’t follow through.

            breakway room

            What is that? I had a look at the sidebar, but didn’t find anything

              In a meeting you get break away rooms, where little teams can form and work. The instances has a place for any country, where people can exchange their ideas. They can then come together in a meta community like buyFromEU/buyEuropean . I like that idea very much.

                I see. Personally I prefer communities on dedicated instances like !thenetherlands@feddit.nl , !dach@feddit.org, !france@jlai.lu

                Seems to reflect more the federated aspect than having all those communities on the same instance
