Notes:

Significancee: italic letter = a0.1, *0.05, **0.01, ***0.001; Logistic Regression Nagelkerke r². bAt the time of posting. cOn the day of posting. dCompany-related postings that focus on, e.g., product and service information; job offers or investment projects of the company; not company-related postings with general information about, e.g., the current energy transition, electric mobility, energy saving tips, events, things to do in the city or contests. eDue to the explorative character of this study and the limited sample of 321 postings, an expanded approach of four significance levels is applied (p <0.001; p <0.01; p <0.05; p <0.1). fProbability of comments or shares when changing the item indicators by one unit. For example, an increase from 5 to 6 °C or a decrease from 11 to 10 words in a posting
