On one hand, the CCP fucking sucks. On the other hand, the US alternatives to some of these banned / tariffed Chinese products also really suck - especially when it comes to bang for your buck. ugh.
On the other hand, with more money going to the US alternatives, there's more potential for a US company to step into that niche once it's open.
Not that it'll necessarily happen obviously, but it does make it a bit easier at least.
Also, I feel like I should add the disclaimer of "I'm not American." I wish I could show my country next to my username or something lol.
You could register to your local Lemmy server, if there is one.
sh.itjust.works is Canadian last I checked, though it isn't readily apparent.
And there are plenty of non-Canadians on it too, like me from America. It's a pretty big instance, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are more non-Canadians than Canadians.
Oh absolutely, I just meant to say that technically I am on a "local instance".
I thought the technical Canadian based instance was Lemmy.ca even if yours is also Canadian lol
I mean, there isn't really one singular instance for Canada lol.
