Yeah. I jumped through these hoops too and it created a company page for my company, with one employee, me, just so I could read someone else's review on a different company.
Of course, now there's a company page for my company that I don't appear to be able to delete.
As an end user, ie. not someone who either hosts an instance or has extra permissions, can we in anyway see who voted on a post or comment?
I'm asking because over the time I've been here, I've noticed that many, but not all, posts or comments attract a solitary down vote.
I see this type of thing all over the place. Sometimes it's two down votes, indicating that it happens more than once.
I note that human behaviour might explain this to some extent, but the voting happens almost immediately, in the face of either no response, or positive interactions.
Feels a lot like the Reddit down vote bots.
I experienced this crazy onslaught of advertising to the point of reducing how much I watched YouTube. I was pretty upset and not at all inclined to pay, especially since YouTube was even putting ads on my own videos without me seeing a single cent, because my channel is too small.
Then my partner bought me a few months of a Premium Subscription as a Christmas gift.
It was pointed out to me that I watched more YouTube than any other streaming service which I was paying for.
Combined with background music on mobile, it's changed my life.
I'm still unimpressed with the business model, but the alternative is so far worse.
Find me a self publishing video platform with the reach of YouTube that doesn't require self hosting and I'll happily move my content there.

It will be interesting to see if anyone on the payroll at Signal is subjected to the same process.
It's staggering to me the number of black cars being sold in hot countries like Australia. Not to mention just how hard they are to see against the background of a bitumen road.
What's the LEGO set code .. asking .. for a friend.
Yeah, except for root that is exactly how it works.
As root you are permitted to shoot your own foot and are expected to know how to aim.
Q: How do you eat an elephant?
A: One bite at a time.
Whilst you are faced with a multitude of issues, don't get lost in the weeds by details when you are trying to untangle the past to move it forward.
A simple spreadsheet to track hardware, licenses and other details like location, specs and primary contact is a perfectly reasonable starting point.
I say that because you don't know what you don't know yet. You might for example discover that some shops are doing their own thing, regardless of company policy.
Creating a ticketing system is useful to track stuff for everyone. I settled on trax with web access to people who need it, but the computer literacy levels might prevent some from using this.
Burnout is a very distinct possibility in an environment like this, so make sure that you set aside time for you to think. Call it a meeting, call it an on-site visit, whatever you do, take time to think.
Also, remember to backup your work. It's not unheard of for it to vanish unexpectedly if you are perceived as a threat.

Who cares?
Facebook is a cesspool of spam with an owner who in my opinion appears to think that "Soylent Green" is an instruction manual..
As an aside, I recall the early days when @SwiftOnSecurity was purposely ambiguous about the distinction between the artist Taylor Swift and their technology tweets. It was delicious to see confused responses.
At some point it changed. Not sure what triggered that. I have a vague memory of a stroke, but I might be misremembering.
