You might also be interested to crosspost this to !europeanfederalists@lemmy.world since they seem to have similar ideas.
Rooting for this idea! I don’t have any skill in those fields so I’m hoping there are others who do who can join you!
I really liked Los Serrano, a Spanish television drama comedy from 2003.
It was my childhood series that my whole family sat down together to watch. Just a comedy drama about Serrano family and their daily lives that ran for years.
Exactly my thought! And happy to hear you got help choosing / finding from this thread! :)
That is so good and inspiring to see. And agreed! The more people who can use it start using it the faster it will grow. Really looking forward to this.
I’ve been so excited about this. Just wish they would spread to more countries already. I’m impatiently waiting :)
Just a routine inspection and corrections on the road.
Sweet! If we decide to add it we’ll credit it of course in the sidebar :) Thanks Blaze!
Edit: added credits to the sidebar and the poster as the banner!
It does sometimes take effort to root out the true owner and producer of a product. Sometimes looking at a website’s about and impressum pages is not enough sadly :(
Thanks! I’ll ask if this should be it for this community!
Ah it’s OC from a redditor, damnit. Would have to ask permission and I don’t have a reddit account (if we decided to use it, that is)
Could be buyeuropean community banner, where is this from?
Not EU (but part of EFTA), but I’d like to recommend the Mostly Swiss “On” shoes for this: https://www.on.com/
The shoes are incredibly comfortable for walking. They are a bit pricey but not insane. I didn’t pay attention to them getting popular until I noticed every employee in a hospital was wearing these which made me understand that it must be more than just a fad (it was more than just a fad).
Edit: wanted to add that I mean specifically Cloud 5 & 6 shoes from them.
Translation (DeepL):
The boycott movement against US products is gathering pace in Europe. A new website is helping consumers to choose alternatives.
The economic policy U-turn of the new US administration under President Donald Trump has met with little approval in the West. The US has already imposed punitive tariffs on some of its most important trading partners and is threatening to do so on others. Added to this is the scandal surrounding support for Ukraine, which is also causing international disgruntlement.
There is growing resistance to Trump’s protectionist economic policy both in politics and in parts of civil society. A movement has now formed in Europe to boycott US products in order to send a signal against American trade policy. Origin in Canada
The boycott movement originated in Canada, where Trump introduced tariffs on Canadian products on 4 March. In response, both representatives of the Canadian government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called on consumers to buy more Canadian products and avoid US imports.
In some regions, the boycott goes even further: in Ontario, for example, American alcohol producers and suppliers were informed that the distribution of their products would be discontinued with immediate effect. The turnover of American alcohol products in Ontario alone amounts to around one billion euros per year.
What started in Canada has now reached Europe. Posts with lists of alternative products to replace their US counterparts are proliferating on social media. Consumers are being encouraged to favour European products in order to strengthen the domestic economy. On the online platform Reddit, a group with over 100,000 members has formed within a very short space of time to discuss the boycott of US products in real time and share recommendations.
To coincide with this protest movement, Danish software developers have launched a new application on the market. The ‘Made O’Meter’ website allows users to scan the barcode of a product and immediately see whether it comes from the USA or not.
Even though the movement is still in its infancy, media interest is high and support is growing. Nevertheless, it remains questionable how much influence civil society boycott campaigns actually have. However, in combination with government measures such as those currently being observed in Canada, they could exert considerable economic pressure on the USA and its companies.
Edit: Wanted to add that I’m rooting for our Canadian friends as well!
Thanks for the cheer Kux, I believe so as well and that’s why I keep taking the opportunities to promo it :)
We have seen steady growth in subscribed-numbers too!
The door is open, just come on in!
Holy shit this is good news! Didn’t know that they are still getting funded. Yay!
I thought the funding for lemmy ended already awhile ago? (They did fund lemmy for years IIRC) Didn’t know they are still funding. Cool!
Edit: wording
Wish I could join the boycott… Since I never use amazon anyway they won’t notice my contribution in usage number dwindling :(
Why do you have to call me out like that man
