investigating the press release? :D what do you mean? questions? Edit: Oh, I guess that was prior to the discussion yesterday, right? So I guess that’s “investigated”. Hadn’t checked Feddit in a while.

guess then i’m clueless what the reasoning behind it is. i will just ignore it from now on. really counterproductive pastime

but didn’t they yesterday say that !buyfromeu@feddit.org 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

Fantastic work! Hope the Qwant/Ecosia coop creates a powerful search index.

That is a great category idea! Working on it!

Element.io is a great option if you can get your circle to sign up

This is the way! Excited to try it!

wasn’t available - as you can imagine that would have been the first choice and we went for “catchy” name instead of something random but .eu

That is a commercial project. Ours is ad-free. So I guess that is not an option.

Thank you! I hadn’t heard about them. Added!

Now these are the recommendations we need!

We have quite some in the database already: https://buy-european.net/category/soft-drinks Feel free to suggest more - I will also keep an eye on this thread to make notes.

Although the title is a bit misleading as Nestlé is Swiss and Unilever is British I still love to see this every couple of years as a reminder.

Yet there is only one promoting/highlighting decentralized networks and that is completely ad-free…

Feel free to add to our database but there are already alternatives listed: https://buy-european.net/alternative-to/zoom

I also only had minor bugs. The biggest pain was this one OP boss (compared to the rest) - don’t remember his name, still traumatized.

Appreciate the info! Never really had them on my radar (obviously heard about them) - this changed now!

Appreciate it! Also, please don’t get discouraged if it takes a bit longer these days for the entries to get added. We work hard in the background on so many things in parallel to increase our reach and improve the functionality of the database and it’s a very small operation. We do our best to balance the work between improvement of the experience, content and outreach.

Exactly, as it is not a specific search it still instantly shows the European products/companies. If you use the search instead you can also search for the Non-European equivalent you want to see the alternatives for. :) So you could search for “YouTube” and get to the page where the YouTube alternatives are shown. But I mean it doesn’t really matter that much - whatever you prefer.
