  • What's the difference between this and !buyeuropean@feddit.uk ?

  • Are we allowed to submit messages in German here? (and/or other languages?)

  • Is this community specifically about the EU? (no british and swiss products?)--

Well, I you think about the question with the foundations the other day, it is not so easy any more. There are non-European products (like open-source products and services) that in the long run help to get rid of non-European products ๐Ÿ˜… At this point we are discussing a lock in. E.g. if you use cloud and office products that force you to store data on foreign servers.

Another example could be Threema, a swiss messenger, where you only need a small ID instead of a phone number. It is well known for their encryption and that their software was audited. So, they are working as transparent as a company could. In my personal and business life, I would still recommend them (as well as Signal) for everyday Joe.
