Thanks for the info - I guess so too. Makes you wonder whether the mission is the primary goal. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Would be interesting to see if they remove informational content like infographics too. [clears throat] https://mastodon.social/@buyeuropean/114096858372085737

I appreciate the support!

Oh I think you mean the other website. Our website never used Google Analytics.

Oh, you’re free to use whatever resource you like. If you want my biased opinion: the difference is like night and day. I find it slower and less structured, so I definitely prefer our approach. But I’m sure some people might prefer the other one - it just depends on what you’re looking for. I also read that they use(d) Google Analytics which is weird to me. But I mean we use .net and not .eu (as catchy .eu domain names were already registered) - so I guess nobody’s perfect.

Another difference: The website you mentioned can be discussed here. This is a one-way street as I learned as my post about our website on the related subreddit got deleted and another user’s post about our website got deleted too.

The biggest issue we face right now is filling the database but people are already submitting lots of suggestions using the form on the website which helps a lot :)

Great additions, thank you! I’m very grateful for people helping to fill the database by submitting suggestions either here or through the “Submit suggestion” form on the website.

I hadn’t heard about it. Once we add more business software alternatives to the database, I will make sure to keep it in mind. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

This is what we use for our database as well (self-hosted). :)

Fantastic company - been using them for years. We also host the website with Hetzner.

Good idea!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Good to know. :)

That’s the problem with “the winner takes it all” on the Internet. Which European alternative would you suggest instead?

Thank you! We already had Organic Maps in the database but I will add OsmAnd and Magic Earth now.

Due to negative feedback in version 1.0 I removed it from the infographic. You can still find it in the database itself.

Production in EU, Production in Europe, Production outside Europe could be factors for example and is what I referred to as “European commitment” prior. “European address” would be minimum presence in Europe but formally incorporated there.

We learn and iterate. Thanks for the feedback! We still list Spotify in the database but plan to include quality factors in the (probably not so near) future as well to better differentiate between “European address” and “European commitment”.

Definitely! Already added Tuta to the database.

Good call. We will keep on iterating. :)

I’m sure at some point another user (with a more established account) will try to post it there and we will see what happens.

No reason given. Might have been due to the fact the account was new? Not sure. I even messaged the mod team beforehand to ask for permission but did not receive a reply, so just posted and after around 20 upvotes the post was gone.
