Careful with preordering, they seem to ignore requests to cancel & the community is rather hostile to any form of criticism

thanks for this. as soon as I realized it was a European company I already had some doubts going in. Won't be ordering.
Wait, what? What is wrong with European companies by default?
Seems like a lot of European tech companies are kept afloat by "digital sovereignty" and maybe EU grant money, while having products that are far behind US and Chinese competitors. Mistral, W Social, maybe this one. Unfortunately it seems to be starting to backfire to where all EU companies, even legitimate ones, are being tarred with this brush.

They don't harvest all personal data becase they don't give a duck like the Usanian counterparts /s
