I'm not saying there isn't good content. I'm saying there's a lot of noise. Case in point is that the first two posts I see right now are:

  • A post about how Trump wants the EU to buy their horror show chicken. Not sure how that helps finding alternatives. Alternatives to what? This is another EU good US bad post.
  • A meme about Amazon alternatives.

First post is a reminder that Trump doubles down on being a commercial enemy

The second post thus presents alternatives to Amazon? How is that not on topic for a community about European alternatives?

Here's another meme which whilst funny to some highlights my point about lowering the signal to noise ratio on this community.

This kind of memes pop up once a day. Feel free to hide the post if you dislike this type of content, it still seems on topic
