Just hopped in to check and it looks like we're effectively DDoSing the Petition site by refreshing.

You can either join the watch party on the official discord, or use some other tracker website to see the numbers get updated to help alleviate the traffic so that more people can sign.

I have been thinking about looking for more European alternatives to Trustpilot for a while as Trustpilot are not trustworthy in my opinion.

They have removed legit reviews and are very expensive for businesses. They have been reported to use aggressive sales tactics, pressuring businesses into paid plans by highlighting negative reviews or offering better visibility for positive ones. Trustpilot has been failing for years to do what it claims it does. For both the customer and the business end.

For both (customer and business), it is better to post reviews on multiple platforms, and for us, it is better if the review platforms are European. I know these are already fairly well known and used in some countries, but not everywhere. Please post links to any others, as I could only find two and hope that there are more.

TrustProfile ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ TrustProfile is more than just reviews. TrustProfile combines an extensive review tool with information from all kind of trustsources.

The Trustbadge ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ The Trustbadge โ€“ Grow your Business & Show that your customers love you The one and only Trustbadgeยฎ technology collects & displays genuine Customer Reviews at a glance.

In 2025, public and private organizations across Europe are increasingly choosing to migrate away from Microsoft 365. The need for control over sensitive data, stronger compliance with European regulations, and the desire to escape costly vendor lock-in spur on this move.

My favorite children clothes store https://www.maammekauppa.fi/ is shutting down (I'm not affiliated, but where will I buy those pretty and durable shirts now?), reason - people are not buying local, one of two local manufacturers who was their suppliers went down last fall for the same reason. This fanatically local and very personal shop just didn't make it. And as small local business owner, I see my reflection in their shutdown.

This is just sad.

And they are right. I'm (affiliated here) trying to sell local brewing yeast for a year now, and almost nobody buys it. I offered gardening chemicals to supermarket networks to be marketed as local - they say there is no demand, they end up with unsold surplus of this (and they know their numbers). I want to believe and praise "buy European" story, but right now the opposite is happening.
