Hey ๐Ÿ‘‹,

I am amazed by what's happening. This community is great.

Two thoughts:

  • The main reason this whole thing is so exciting for me is because it means change. It's such a great feeling to disrupt old habits and re-evaluate everything that I got so comfy with over the last decades. Please keep your recommendations coming. So much new (and better) alternatives to discover.

  • While I love "Buy European", in reality my heart realized it's more about "Avoid US". Hey friends from non-European countries!

Thank you!

I agree, the focus for me is the same, EU product or atleast an non US alternative. And im not jumping over all at once, im testing services and slowly replacing them when I meet one that fits my needs.

But for me the challenge lies in buying products, like groceries or some technical items. Its not always clear if its tied to the us or not, and it takes some time to figure that out.
