Europe keeps building social apps no one wants

I keep seeing people say “The EU just needs to invest more in tech and social media apps,” and like… no. That’s not the problem. More...

I tried to correct them there: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jtooq4/europe_keeps_building_social_apps_no_one_wants/mlvrugy/

    In that case reposter should make clear where the original content comes from and that he is not OP.

    Feel free to share with the mod of !BuyFromEU@europe.pub, they literally crossposted your post without any of the comments who make the post interesting: https://europe.pub/post/158763

      Yea. I’ve seen that. In my opinion the person bringing content into the community has the responsibility to make something meaningful with it. E.g. start a conversation or get information and engage with the people.

      If you’re just adding links, thats fine, too. In the end, links are a way to bring attention to something worthy or funny.

        Links are valuable, but there needs to be some comments with them to make it feel like it’s worth sharing.

        I’ve noticed a trend on the europe.pub community, it has literally only crossposts from other communities and 0 comments

        Examples:

          For now it is only one person trying to generate content to be attractive. I’m sure strategy will change in time.

            Let’s see. I’m not sure why anyone would choose to post there compared to established communities like !europe@feddit.org or !buyeuropean@feddit.uk, but everything is possible

              The European domain and European breakway room has some appeal and might meet the zeitgeist. Actually I’ve proposed the same to some admins but didn’t follow through.

                breakway room

                What is that? I had a look at the sidebar, but didn’t find anything

                  In a meeting you get break away rooms, where little teams can form and work. The instances has a place for any country, where people can exchange their ideas. They can then come together in a meta community like buyFromEU/buyEuropean . I like that idea very much.

                    I see. Personally I prefer communities on dedicated instances like !thenetherlands@feddit.nl , !dach@feddit.org, !france@jlai.lu

                    Seems to reflect more the federated aspect than having all those communities on the same instance
