Now hear me out: we all put together some Money to Buy ads for lemmy lmao

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.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Why don’t they just fire up some more bots?

Like they don’t have enough already…
rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
They have millions of posts, and this is the funniest they could find? Sheesh.

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

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.

Yo france, you busy this evening? There are some new canvises we can paint on. A nice “Reddit ist so ein Pimmel” - germany

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.
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?)

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”

Are those signa blocking windows
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.
Burninator05@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Is that what we were supposed to do on Reddit?
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Evidently they were friends, because they told me about Lemmy.
