We’ve known this for actual years now. Reddit has made it crystal clear, talking about competition is absolutely not allowed. But they aren’t controlled by China dammit, you’d be crazy to think that!

Without context, maybe, but if you start connecting all the dots over the years, it’s not far-fetched nor off topic.

Sure I get your first few sentences and even agree there that reddit doesn’t want positive talk of competition, but what I’m failing to see is where China comes in to play here beyond the fact they have some ownership stake in reddit. Do you think they’re driving this policy, if so what makes you think it’s them and not any of the other 100 rich assholes with ownership stakes?

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.

I saw this post and hey at least from what I’ve seen in the comments some people were corrected and decided to give it a try so it did have impact.

Too bad the r/BuyFromEU team removed it tho

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.
