  • Um das ein bisschen weiter auszuführen: Es ist keine klassische Malware und nichts was den Rechner “infizieren” kann, sondern ein simples Javascript das eine Webseite aufruft und durch die Masse der Aufrufe von archive Benutzern versucht, diese damit zu crashen. Definitiv eine miese Nummer und ich würde die Seite auch erstmal nicht benutzen da ich davon kein Teil sein will, aber es muss sich auch niemand Sorgen machen der die Seite in den letzten Tagen benutzt hat.

    It’s basically a movement with various different groups with similar goals, but no central organization. For example, there is the /r/buyfromEU subreddit, whose mod team has also created a Mastodon account, but who don’t run any of the Lemmy communities AFAIK. A couple of users from the subreddit created the GoEuropean app. Various users also created infographics, which get shared around between the platforms. Lemmy has 2 major communities, this one and !buyeuropean@feddit.uk. There’s some smaller offshoots from users who either didn’t like the instances these are hosted on or had some other issues with them I guess. It’s indeed all a bit fractured right now. As for where to post, pick any that’s active I guess. I’m subscribed to both this one and !buyeuropean@feddit.uk, but I slightly prefer the latter, because I think “Buy European” sounds better as a slogan and explicitely includes Non-EU countries like Switzerland and the UK, which I’m in favor of.










  • Those “overpriced” products in your local stores?

    You’re supporting your neighbors.

    Depends. If I wanted to buy some cables locally, it’d have to be at the electronics store the next town over. It’s part of a chain that was just purchased by a Chinese megacorporation. They sell a single brand of shoddy quality cables for a huge markup, all made in China. At that point, the more ethical choice would be to purchase some Made in Europe cables online (just as pricey, but at least my money won’t go to China).
