I dont want to mention a name here, but it's the brand that has an office here ...

A federated plattform without capital would never get as big, because they dont have the resources to attract more customers via offline ads, apps and better product development.

Just being the best or fairest platform is not enough to be successful.

Bei vielen Systemen heißt löschen einfach nur den Account/Post/Kommentar verstecken, aber er ist trotzdem noch im System vollständig erhalten.

There is a dodgy car rental brand in australia, nz, usa and canada that i had used, and exclusively markets to overseas tourists, but not locals - presumably because locals would know that they should not rent a car that failed the technical inspection and is illegal to drive, which to the surprise of nobody happens a lot with cheap, 20 year old rental cars. It's very hard to find organic customer reviews of the company, because their own SEO drowns out any authentic customer voices:

  • Their links come from "paid blog posts" (they pay the blogger to write some fluff piece) in private travel blogs, advertising banners, forum posts and articles on big travel sites like trip advisor

  • Their own "travel tips for #country#" websites which offers the same info as other tourist sites, but where they exclusively mention their own business. They have a whole network of their own sites, each for a different country they opperate in, a different language for the customer nationality they are targeting and the age group/price level they want to serve

  • social media channels of course

  • In forum posts where the company is mentioned in a bad way, some new account pops up defending the company, or the thread is deleted soon afterwards.

  • Same with online reviews on google maps, where the company sits at a 4.5 score, but some bad reviews about deposits not being paid out after the car was returned have magically disappeared.

tl;dr: the internet is all ads!

Christian Lindner investiert jetzt alle Forschungsgelder nur noch ins Perpetuum mobile, eine umweltfreundliche Zukunftstechnologie wie ihm seine Parteifreunde berichtet haben!

Wie kommt das? Saudi-Arabien ist mir ja nicht gerade als ein Land bekannt, wo Frauenrechte hoch geschätzt werden. Und die Arbeitsverhältnisse der Ausländer beim Bau z.b. der Fußballstadien waren ja auch nicht vergleichbar mit dem Arbeitsrecht in Deutschland. Wieso sollte es dort in Pflegeberufen besser sein?

Could be bot responses to farm karma.

Once the account is a bit older and has enough karma points, it will be either sold, post spam, or Post/comment on an product or topic the owner wants to push, or down vote opposing opinions.

Hast du schon alle Hardware bis aufs nötigste entfernt, und schrittweise wieder eingebaut?

Ist Monitor, USB Hub, Router usw. korrekt geerdet, oder haben die Geräte untereinander vielleicht Spannungsdifferenz, der dann über Masse zwischen HDMI, Netzwerk oder USB Kabel anliegt?

They would be abused by spam bots in an instant, even before you could write your own "welcome to my guestbook" post.
