TLDR: upvote if you want BuyFromEU to stick around.
Hi folks, new mod here.
There are two quite similar communities on different instances. Some users - coming from the different place - are in favor for abandoning this one, fearing a split and unecessary separation of users for an important movement. I’m not so sure if the other one is a substitute. Also - to be honest - I dislike the agressive, relentless style some users use in a -if you will- foreign community.
Procedure
- An upvote on this post means this you want this community to evolve. I would then proceed and search for more moderators and try to keep this a productive, interconnected space.
- A downvote means you are in favor of abandoning and settling with the other community.
You can use the comments on this post to express your feelings in a civil manner.
I’ll finally check back in about 48hours and take a look at where we are standing.
Edit:

Also, something else that crossed my mind, @a887dcd7a@lemmy.world: some instances like https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/ or https://reddthat.com/ disable downvotes, so they wouldn’t be able to vote using your procedure.
@FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone for instance voted to move to the feddit.uk instance, but is unable to register their vote
I‘m sorry to hear that. Upvote/downvote was the most democratic and representative way I could think of with feddit.org capabilities.
Please recognize that I cannot think of all hurdles when different instances with different possibilities are involved.
It’s okay, you are learning.
Usually what mods do is that they have two comments, and upvotes on each of them count as vote: https://lemmy.world/comment/13861954
I forgot about it as well, otherwise I would have pointed it out earlier
