Explore the giants of the consumer goods sector, where iconic brands familiar in daily life are predominantly owned by a few key industry players.

Coming from @Flisty@mstdn.social as a post comment. He also mentioned These 10 companies control everything you buy dated 2017.
This may help navigate brands and brand owners.

The numbers seem outdated. Spending on domestic companies exploded in 2024.

Die dritte Dimension ist das Targeting für politische Werbung (vgl. Böhmermann) und die Gewichtung der Algorithmen, sodass gewünschte Inhalte überrepräsentiert/öfter angezeigt werden. Eigentlich sind es Rekrutierungsnetze.

They started Iris2 back when the full scale invasion started. There is another European sat constellation (I don't remember the name) that could be a stopgap. Beyond of that using OneWeb sats is discussed.
List of all the companies owned by Bezos
Many of the companies under Bezos were acquired by Amazon, but Bezos himself acquired a handful under his investment arm, Bezos Expeditions. This is the complete list of Bezos and Amazon companies.

Preliminary rules
There are some server rules which apply. Please be aware of them.
Beyond of that:
- Try to stay on topic (it is easy to get sidetracked)
- Try to avoid politics in the broader sense, unless you feel this community benefits. (E.g. if regulations hit consumers or report on how your buying choices make an impact.) There are other communities !europe@feddit.org to discuss such matters.
- Excel and be excellent to each other
Sidebar will be adjusted in time.
Moderators wanted
TLDR: say hi if your want to help moderate.
Hi folks,
this community needs you 🫵… well, at least 1 or 2 of you to moderate (and the others to do what they do).
I'm looking for about two further moderators. The community is not too big and traffic not so high(, yet) and I’m sure we can handle that in a small group.
Preferably these people should be feddit.org natives and be ready to use Matrix chat for quicker communications.
Overall I imagine only few necessities to moderate but if bigger decisions need to be made, a transparent consensus oriented process shoud apply. If consensus cannot be reached we might need to Ouija first Mods will 👻.
After assembly First steps would be to talk about how to shape this community. What contents are preferred, what rules should be applied? Are we talking European in sense of the continent or EU (hint: I don’t have a strong opinion in this). I prefer to have the Mods to have a common ground on those topics and then present/discuss the idea in a public post and adjust the sidebar accordingly.
My ideal The pages shared in Where to start? make a great job of categorial listing products and services, we shouldn’t compete with that. At this place I would love to see people present and discuss European services and products, and more importantly share success stories or their impressions to inspire others. But if someone has a brighter idea, we (le futur Mods) should be listening.
Full transparency Original Mod left his house rules in the sidebar I’m trying to honor that. For selection I’m going to take a look at a user’s profile and maybe have a quick chat just to make sure people are really interested in building a community.
Edit: grammar and spelling.
