i can’t even block them on the client i use. wtf is this and how can we stop it?
Given the date, I doubt this has anything to do with the company. Probably just a joke/troll with poor taste.
Apr 1st would be a really dumb day to start a new ad campaign on a platform explicitly created to escape corporate greed. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot…
Definitely just a troll. Ain’t nobody high up at Coca-Cola even knows about our club.
There used to be a novelty account here called Margot Robbie. I like to imagine it was her, but also pretending its not her by using word choice that would suggest a fan account.
Just the way we like it.
Is it though? I thought it was fake
thank you for responding, i did not expect that! the block button in message would be helpful, as well as a report button if that’s feasible. i figured out how to block them but not how to report them without DMing a mod directly. p.s. i love your app in every other way :) this was the first inconvenience i have had with it.
No problem! I think making the “Block User” button will be a genuine improvement. I don’t think Lemmy lets you report users, but it looks like you can report private messages. I’ll add that as well.
The banner will look something like this
|----------------------------| | Bock User | Report Message | |----------------------------| | Message ^ | |----------------------------|
I like the idea of the block button for people thats never messaged before. I think a lot of other platforms do the same
How do I get ads in Lemmy?
Someone needs to send this to that guy in the Comic Strips community who keeps cropping out artists’ signatures because he thinks they’re “ads”.
He hates ads so much.
Very strange individual, even by Lemmy standards.
he’s a real one
In some cases he has used AI to remove watermarks. It changed other details of the comic. Pretty gross.
My dudes I am already bald let us not pile on them here. Please be chill
I got the same thing, but assumed it was because I made a comment yesterday about the brand in mention, and this is someone’s idea of an April Fools joke?
Yeah not in the best taste, but everything today should be taken with a grain of salt
Yeah, but Coca Cola is the best taste. Doesn’t need to be taken with a grain of salt—even today. There’s nothing quite like the crisp, invigorating taste of an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Each sip delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and sparkle, dancing across your taste buds with a refreshing burst that instantly lifts your mood. Whether you’re sharing moments with friends or taking a well-deserved break, Coca-Cola brings a timeless sense of joy and satisfaction. It’s more than just a drink-it’s a classic experience, chilled to perfection and made to be enjoyed anytime.
ads are not, and never willl be funny
I mean that’s pretty funny.
I’d straight up report them to the instance admins for that shit
i will have to dm them, the client i use (blorp) doesnt have a report or block button for some goddamn reason
I’m the blorp dev. I added a comment to your post with block instructions. Sorry for the confusion.
Holy shit, I was just wondering how to vent about this shit. I vow that I will NEVER drink that dumbass drink ever again. This type of advertising gives me a personal grudge that, god forbid I ever have children, I will pass down through my fucking bloodline.
I mean, I don’t actually want to talk you out of your vow there, but I’m fairly confident this was from a random troll with no affiliation to the actual company. I mean, I don’t doubt they’d do it if they thought it would be profitable, but even if they did foolishly think this would work, I’d be shocked if we’re even on their radar.
I just got this ad in this post.
Lmao I wish I got the coke ad
it turned into a whole saga lol
And then shared it with the rest of us. Way to be part of the problem.
I doubt that is a legitimate ad by the brand but rather some rando’s idea of a joke/troll and they’re gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company
Report it to the admin of programming -dev?
Sounds like you’re salty. You know what’s not salty? New Coke. Catch the Wave.
Send it to the admin(s) of the instance. I’m sure they don’t want to host that bullshit.
Even worse that the lazy ad programmer used AI to write the stupid ad. Society has failed.
Yeah, especially those members of society who can’t read today’s date.
Damn, you should buy a pepsi
Coca-Cola tastes like shit, change my mind
I got the same thing, solid April Fool’s trolling!
Damn now I want me some ice cold coca cola.
coke of cola

Looks like you were the perfect target demographic for this marketing.

You know what they say, nothing beats thirst like a cop beats black people like a crisp cold coca cola. The cops beating up innocent people of beverages.
Yes indeed coca cola loves to assault your thirst. The way cops assault their wives.
Coca cola and cops, two peas one pod. Like two girls one cup. Except instead of two girls eating shit it’s coca cola.
Mmm. Coke.

On a similar note, I have a few notes for a coca cola ad. Particularly in regards to the war on christmas.
I’d like the ad to open with the crucifixion. When Jesus cries out “I thirst”. Then a Roman Soldier passes him a crisp and refreshing Coca Cola from a cooler.
Not really sure how to end it, but I think its fine to cut after Jesus says “Ahhh!”

Just like a coka cola funded paramilitary organisation quashes a union by killing its members, a crisp sip of coke will quench your thirst like no other

Did it make you want a coke?
mech@feddit.org 2 months ago
Yes, actually.
I guess I’m pretty sensitive to ads now, since I usually don’t see any at all.
