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

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 2 points 6 days 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 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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 1 week ago

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