    I would say they are copying hyper-localized newspaper classifieds, including the hyper-localized aspect, which caused newspaper classifieds to stop being used by the overwhelming majority of people when alternatives like Craigslist, eBay, and even Facebook market came about.

    Good reply, I was coming to that conclusion based on the same response from them on my example of buying from another area. It is very odd that anyone would place such limits on functionality on an internet-bound platform.

    I’m having trouble understanding if this person is representative of flohmarkt or not, but either way, I don’t think they understand any of our questions or arguments.

      And a federated one at that! Creating silos like this is… Counter intuitive.

      They admin slrpnk.net, no idea of their involvement with flohmarkt.

      I think its safe to say they don’t understand or don’t care about any concerns though, agreed.
