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

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.

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!
