Every since I decided to join the Buy European movement, I’ve been avoiding US tech as much as possible. I still have my personal accounts but I try to use fediverse and European alternatives. However I’ve also built my website to promote buying European products. (Non profit, I don’t earn from it).
Now that got me thinking… Most people that use Fediverse are fairly in the loop on things like “buy European” and shop local etc. But who really need to hear the info is people who are not. To reach them I’d probably need to insert links to my website on “big tech” social media websites. It makes me feel like an imposterer though to do that (advice to buy European and then putting content on an American network).
Can you guys/girls/others please tell me how you would handle this situation and what you think is best?
I would set up simple linking/summarizing, but nothing more. Suck users away, make them click the link to read, and if you get shadowbanned for it then you haven’t wasted much effort.
