I've been searching around for resources to add to my list of thrifting or freecycling resources online.
I've seen these two:
I have questions regarding each site:
- Is it frequently used for free items/freecycling?
- Is it moderated or unmoderated?
- It seem to be free to post ads for both, but is there a catch?
Are there more sites like this in Germany?
I know that https://de.freecycle.org/ is also available and somewhat active. I've also gotten tips about https://mundraub.org/ (thank you @00@kbin.social) that I've added to the list.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you for the info. Would you call it a self-moderating system due to the rating scores?
The give boxes seem really nice.
You're welcome. There is also administration/silent moderation through the company, they delete fraudulent or illegal listings and you can report other users you had interactions with. I think it lacks transparency regarding their actions. I would not call it self-moderating.
I might post about them here in the near future.
