    Is that what we were supposed to do on Reddit?

      Evidently they were friends, because they told me about Lemmy.

      Why? We don’t need the service to be popular. That’s the great thing about it being decentralised, it kind of doesn’t matter.

      Also we don’t want a bunch of French people on here, speaking their strange heathen lingo.

      I fear that Lemmy might not scale well. Many instances might die from it

      they do use thier troll farms to keep engagement up, now including the troll farms of the usa like palintir.

    Why don’t they just fire up some more bots?

    They have millions of posts, and this is the funniest they could find? Sheesh.

    There’s big money behind it now, I guess. 🤷

  • cley_faye@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Not only in Paris. Saw some of them in Marseille too. At first I thought it was some kind of “anti-ad” joke, where someone was giving them a bad rep because of how stupid it looked.

    Guess it was not a joke.

    Reddit: “Come make friends on Reddit, France!”

    Also Reddit: “Ew… French 🤢”

    Nah dawg. I’m good on the censorship.

    What’s behind the fake building front?

    And damn it’s ugly in terms of city and building front and feel. Such a strong color. I wonder how it looks IRL.

    source
    • Bourff@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Behind the front is a building that looks a lot like what you’re seeing.That’s a common practice to make the construction work less visible. Of course, it’s less useful when there’s a giant red banner in the middle of it.

    do we have lemmy posters (as in the paper kind?)

    source
    • Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      With some flour you can bring fediverse posters to your area!

  • Cocopanda@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I’m just so thankful for Lemmy not having built in posts that are ads. I hate it so much on Reddit.

  • Timbo303@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Reddit is such a cesspool now. I got banned on r/Nintendohelp and r/Nintendo for participating in r/FuckNintendo

    I also got banned from r/Pokemongo for participating in r/PGSharp

    Reddit is useless nowadays since ai can answer most questions now. It’s only good for opinions people have and now even that’s in jeopardy.

      My account of 12 years got permabanned presumably after the mods of /r/portland made false reports about me to the admins because my advocacy for the homeless wasn’t what they wanted their controlled discourse to look like. They harassed me across other subreddits before doing so, too. I was the main moderator of a somewhat popular NYC-based subreddit, that sub was suddenly lawless after I poof disappeared and I have no way of explaining to the sub members what happened.

        12 year account permabamned for making fun of actual nazis and telling them to fuck off.

      I got a three day ban for “violence” for using the phrase “i’m an australian and i’d punt the fucker”

      We were talking about whether or not having a partner call you a cunt would be a breakup moment.

    Are those signa blocking windows

    source
    • Alerian@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      No they are remaking the building exterior so they put up a scaffolding, hidden behind the add and fake windows. It’s a common practice in Paris, though there are talks of banning the adds to reduce visual pollution

    I’m not sure about infuriating. Maybe more like pathetic. Can that even make economic sense if you’re an ad-driven business yourself?

  • FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    The worst part is their châtlet joke is actually good 😭.

    I hope someone tags over all this.

    They even bought TV space. Apart from meeting apps, I’m not sure if I ever saw any other online network advertise on TV. Maybe Facebook did years ago, but I don’t think so.
