Thanks for the shoutout, a887dcd7a@lemmy.world

If anyone wants to contribute, we appreciate suggestions using the "Submit suggestion" form on the website: https://buy-european.net/suggest

Quick info about our approach: We list both European businesses as well as open source/decentralized solutions (as there is no specific location). We want to support European businesses as well as the idea of open source/decentralized services.

We currently do NOT evaluate the quality of the entries ethically/morally - we simply list companies with a European headquarter. This is because tbh we currently don't have time for more and would want to lay out a framework that is transparent and evaluated by multiple parties to ensure objectivity.

Ideas like evaluating whether the company actually produces either in the EU, in Europe or outside Europe might be factors in the future for a rating (gold, silver, bronze or something similar) but currently the focus is and will for the near future stay on listing all as many European options as possible which is a lot of work.

We also list European companies that are owned by foreign entities as they still fall under European legislation. This will probably not change in the future but similar to the above mentioned a ranking that takes this into account might be added in the future.

Hope that helps.

Why not buy-european.eu?

[–] buyeuropean@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because people snipe domains and then not use it. The only "catchy" domain we found was .net If the .eu owner wants to transfer ownership, we are ready to change it in a heartbeat.

Oh, I didn't see it is claimed.
