TLDR: upvote if you want BuyFromEU to stick around.

Hi folks, new mod here.

There are two quite similar communities on different instances. Some users - coming from the different place - are in favor for abandoning this one, fearing a split and unecessary separation of users for an important movement. I'm not so sure if the other one is a substitute. Also - to be honest - I dislike the agressive, relentless style some users use in a -if you will- foreign community.

Procedure

An upvote on this post means this you want this community to evolve. I would then proceed and search for more moderators and try to keep this a productive, interconnected space.
A downvote means you are in favor of abandoning and settling with the other community.

You can use the comments on this post to express your feelings in a civil manner.

I'll finally check back in about 48hours and take a look at where we are standing.

Hi, I'm the wrong person to ask. I got MOD by accident and am willing to give this community a new spin. There are some few people who are against two communities. But to be clear, I'm in favor for this community to stay and am on your page.

There is no such thing as an official community for this movement, if you want to call it that way.

I don't have a problem with there being two. Put in the sidebar how to crosspost between the two communities and talk to the mods of the other about how to reach more people.

Everything else is fedidrama of fifteen-year-olds worried about a popularity contest

P.D. I don't have the level of English to help you, but for now it seems to me that you do a good job and you shouldn't pay attention to all the criticism

Did you just assume my age 🙀😂?

I don't think you got MOD by accident! The original MOD deleted their account and you posted quite regularly... so it seems to me.

I also DMed him if he needs help organizing stuff. I expected a lovely message with hearts and roses ❤️🌹, instead I got MOD...

Well, that was a fast track promotion 😄

[–] Mothproof2212@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, fuck... I'm so sorry this happened to you! Should we call an ambulance? 🌹❤️😄

It is fine. It’s the second community I inherited (the other one is stale, though).

But thanks to the kindness of your last message, I’ll survive.
