As far as I’m aware the company behind degiro is actually called “flatexdegiro” so not sure if they’re related

Currently got most of my EU ETF in Amundi and planning on selling the rest of my iShares EU 600’s later this year to put it in Xtrackers (first got some other financial stuff to focus on to see that my tax bill doesn’t go boom)

Been using Degiro for a while. Outside of 1 year them not correctly filing taxes automatically resulting in me having to do it manually its been a great service!

What are the differences in rules and moderation styles between !buyfromeu@feddit.org , !BuyFromEU@lemm.ee and !buyeuropean@feddit.uk ?

I don’t specifically interact with the communities enough to give you an answer. But also, it may be similar now but rules and teams evolve.

The rest

I personally do not use the bottom 4 so wouldn’t know. But in terms of europe this is what I have on hand: !Europe@europe.pub !europe@lemmy.ml !europa@lemmy.world

You make points that are your personal opinion, if everybody shared that they’d only be using 1 of the communities and nobody would even want to make another one.

As I’ve stated, you should let the community naturally decide what gets to exist and stay alive and what doesn’t. You are not the main decider what should happen on Lemmy/the fediverse but you’re trying to have a lot of influence in shaping it. If something like this was “bad” the developers of Lemmy should make something for it, the way people use software is shaped by the features on it, not from someone telling people how they should use it. Instead of having discussions like this every time a new community pops up suggest a technical change that can improve Lemmy, that’s much more useful and time efficient.

Also just want to bring up, stuff like this also happens on reddit believe it or not. Belgium itself has multiple subreddits all just being “belgium” and a number or something, this specifically happened because people did not agree with the moderation of the others.

But honestly, I don’t really care about this “issue” enough to keep debating it. Here’s my simple opinion as I’ve stated twice already: Let the people choose, it will all evolve naturally and we’ll see what sticks over time. Having discussions like this is a waste of time and new people seeing this may even be turned off from using anything fediverse related as its already complicated enough compared to normal social media and this just shows how “unstable” it is compared to normal socials.

I literally cannot for the life of me make a normal amount of pasta

I use store brand! Local and cheaper, quality wise the conditioner works better on my hair (2 euros for 500ml vs 7 euros for like 350ml) and for shampoo its just cheaper for the same effect

Oooo maybe I can get away with that, would have to read my car policy

I’m currently still using my stash of australian HiSmile, don’t really have an EU alternative for this and I never want to go back to minty toothpaste

It has a lot less functionality than a phone :p

Would love that as well but my company doesn’t allow it :(

Good spot!

Just to preface, this is my personal opinion and I am not speaking on behalf of the mod team of buyfromeu@feddit.org as we all have our unique opinion on it.

I think the whole point of the fediverse is that we don’t centralize anymore. People have the decision what community of BuyFromEU/BuyEuropean they want to join/participate in and cross-posting is a functionality. Every community has their own rules and moderation styles and people may not agree with 1 of them. The most preferred one will become the biggest/most active one and the others can always exist alongside and serve as a place to go if people feel the need to change.

Just to add on to this a little bit, I believe we should leave it to the community to naturally decide where they want to go and what should exist (something that shouldn’t or has no interest will die out by itself) instead of trying to encourage people to drop what they’re working on to lead people somewhere else.

First I switched to ice tea sparkling from lipton (before joining the movement) and now I just buy store brand soda’s instead. They’re at least a bit more healthy and are so much more price competitive! I don’t drink much so it saves me at most 10 euros a month but buying 1L of cola for almost 3 euros vs 1.20 for 1.5L store brand is insane

This will in part also be because they just stock much more Coca Cola still. With the other brands selling out they’ll be stocking that more in the future which is a great foresight!

There’s always too many dutch people volunteering for stuff like this. But I’m open to helping moderate the dutch side, although I’m not much of a community builder to be honest so won’t be able to help that much on that side.

As a short introduction I’m 23, Software Test Automation Engineer with quite a bit of experience within a moderator teams (Hypixel, Cubecraft, MCCI) and also being a semi-lead on a forums moderation team for Hypixel having input on rules and moderation. Currently also a mod for !buyfromeu@feddit.org but I do not actively mod there, I’m just a part of decision making when action needs to be taken / rules need changing (head-mod there decided for it to be a democratic process + mostly hands off).
