reddit mods’ authoritative feel is something you can’t dare to snatch lol, those neckbeards would run (for the first time ever in their life) to give you the ban hammer /s

Seems like the mods from r/buyfromeu on reddit don’t really want european alternatives to win when it means them leaving their subreddit in favor of something actually european

There is some drama between the r/Buy_European and r/BuyFromEU subs.

Another one. I don’t know why, but I think the comments were too much about lemmy/fediverse.

You can use https://old.reddit.com/r/Buy_European instead, the mods there are chilled.

That was my post, I’m having a chat with the mods now, hoping they can reinstate the post. a warning would have been nice before removing the post and banning me, but let’s see what comes of this.

The mods haven’t responded to me in 17 hours, they also seem to have a problem with this community:

There is also beef between them and the other reddit r/Buy_European sub

Is the claim that a corporation runs this community to do self-promotion actually based on anything substantial or are they just being weird on Reddit?
