Is it okay to join even if we're not European and are just interested in European online services?

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Hell yes, this community is for everyone!

So, so it does work now!

Great idea! I'll ask other mods if we could put the link to the sidebar.

I believe the group chat is hosted on the matrix.org instance which is geographically located in the UK.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Which makes this even more fitting :)!

This community has made me realize how we have more alternatives to US than I ever realized. I hope my sisters and brothers over at canada are also finding european products an alternative to those things that canada itself doesn't have!

Good stuff. I've made you a Mod of the chat room too.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sweet! Have never moderated a chat before, but I'll try!

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To be honest, there's not much to do, everyone is pretty well-behaved. The only issue is, like this community, people trying to sneakily promote their own stuff.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I've never had issues in a matrix group except the occasional spam.
