      Or !buyfromeu@feddit.org if you want to make sure they adhere to EU laws.

      Lol, never mind, that’s where you posted it in the first place. Nice to see that the community is already gaining traction. :P

          That might be, but it is not specific to the EU, and therefore not relevant to those of us looking for EU goods.

              Fine, in that case i propose we make another community for those of us who want EU goods, so we don’t confuse them with european goods. Happy?

                Not really. One community would be better than two, especially with how close they are.

                The UK left the EU, but aren’t they still better allies than Trump-US at the moment? Is it better to get spend money in an iPhone or get a Nothing Phone? Switzerland is next door, even if one of the Proton board members acts suspiciously lately, wouldn’t you recommend people to use Proton rather than Gmail?

                The /r/BuyfromEU subreddit allows European in the general terms, Switzerland, UK and Norway included. It seems more reasonable to use a similar definition.

                  I actually agree with you that, the EU/Europe destination doesn’t matter that much, but my pedantic side have to point out that “Europe” technically also include Belarus and a big chunk of Russia.
