Still a shame that !buyfromeu@feddit.org don't want to consider consolidating, as the two are literally the same community (buyfromEU allows discussion about "neighboring friendly countries")
Well, that's quite a knee-jerk reaction on their part, frankly stupid too: aren't we supposed to be a federated network instead of acting like a mini-reddit that wants to own everything? :/
Imho, it's worth a least showcasing as a surprising decision and, imho, a questionable one too. Calmly discussing it in order to see what others think about it.
I don't like that you were banned for mentioning another community. And I don't like that only because I'm being polite here ;)
