    Maybe we’re not seeing the same things. OP has posted a few links like this recently along with other users. When this community started it was more about “here’s a US product or company that blindly supports Trump and here’s the European alternative you should consider”. Now most of the posts I see are “EU good US bad”. 😞

        I’m not saying there isn’t good content. I’m saying there’s a lot of noise. Case in point is that the first two posts I see right now are:

        • A post about how Trump wants the EU to buy their horror show chicken. Not sure how that helps finding alternatives. Alternatives to what? This is another EU good US bad post.
        • A meme about Amazon alternatives.

          First post is a reminder that Trump doubles down on being a commercial enemy

          The second post thus presents alternatives to Amazon? How is that not on topic for a community about European alternatives?

              This kind of memes pop up once a day. Feel free to hide the post if you dislike this type of content, it still seems on topic

            Here’s another one that I’m not sure is the best quality for this community. Why is this article (from 5 months ago) relevant for this community do you think? Does it present alternatives to US dominated services or products that could be fulfilled by European alternatives?

            Ahh tomayto tomato… Maybe I’m just old but I prefer to see posts about actual alternatives to US products and services rather than memes and articles about politics. Each to their own 😊

              Everyone has their own vision of the movement. Based on the upvotes on those posts, seems like people find them valuable. Also, feel free to post the type of content you would like to see!
