I would say I completely agree. If we want to create critical mass and be a viable competition to Reddit and co community consolidation seems useful, I don’t think we have the luxury of splintering.
For the buyFromEU/buyFromEurope thing, I would prefer if we consolidated into buyFromEurope as there’s of course a few countries not in the EU like the UK, Norway, Ukraine, etc that we still want to buy from. I will generally prefer buying from the EU but i think the community should be Europe not eu focused.
We really need this. Both qwant and ecosia still use bing under the hood and they are sadly not as good as Google. We should invest in developing an EU search engine
