i can’t even block them on the client i use. wtf is this and how can we stop it?
edit: banned before i could report lol
edit edit: i get it, im a grumpy old fart lolol
Damn, you should buy a pepsi
see ad
repost it to increase its reachLooks 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
What an absolute flatulene.
Did it make you want a coke?
Yes, actually.
I guess I’m pretty sensitive to ads now, since I usually don’t see any at all.I only skimmed it, but now I want some cocaine…
It’s clearly AI slop anyway
Hi I’m the developer that made the app you’re using.
Click the persons name
Then click the 3 dots menu
\Then you can block from there. If it’s not intuitive enough, I’m open to suggestions for how to make it easier.
Actually, what if I just added a big “Block” button if the message is from a person you’ve never interacted with?
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 (not for cropping the artist tho, thats too much lol)
In some cases he has used AI to remove watermarks. It changed other details of the comic. Pretty gross.
A real piece of work more like.
my bad, it was the first i’ve heard of him haha
My dudes I am already bald let us not pile on them here. Please be chill

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.
Oh yeh what happened to them? They added a bit of colour round here
Just the way we like it.
Is it though? I thought it was fake
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.
Yeah, I should probably chill with that
…made easier by having a crisp, invigorating glass of an ice-cold Coca-Cola.oh man watch out, you might be posted about here on mildlyinfuriating
And Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is no joke. Zero Sugar in every can. Share a Coke with a friend today
Except aspartame and sucralose tase like ass.
As a daily Original Coke drinker; Diet Coke and Coke Zero both make me gag. I’ve tried several times, I can’t finish a can of either.
I’m not a huge coke fan I just like how it smells.
ads are not, and never willl be funny
The joke I’m pretty sure was “Wouldn’t it be weird if we had ads here”, it’s cool man, no one got hurt, it was a joke. If it happens tomorrow I’ll be upset.
you can have your opinion, but it’s offensive and tone deaf for most of us
Christ, you’re offended by me saying it was a joke that no one got hurt by? The most you were inconvenienced was hitting delete, and that offended you? That’s your bar for offense there. One joke ad hitting your inbox one time offended you. This is why we’re made fun of, this right here, why people say we can’t joke anymore and this gives them credibility in that statement. There will always be someone who cannot simply move on. It always has to be a big thing that personally offended you. It’s MildlyInfuriating, not I’m offended by a soda can.
idk about you, but every time i have an ad shoved in my face i’m reminded that i am not human, but just another source of extracting money to feed to billlionaires. it is soul crushing, god forbid i react to it…
oh and i meant the ads are offensive, not your comment. sorry i worded it badly
I mean that’s pretty funny.
Yeah I mean I don’t advocate for DM spam but this is pretty clearly an april fools joke
Lmao I wish I got the coke ad
it turned into a whole saga lol
I’d straight up report them to the instance admins for that shit
According to the modlog they were banned already for “DM Spam”
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.
youre awesome
Coca-Cola tastes like shit, change my mind
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. Now 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.
It’s not real, you can calm down.
My life has already been irreparably altered. The plan is in motion. It is too late.
And then shared it with the rest of us. Way to be part of the problem.
I just got this ad in this post.
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
Anyone who thinks the people at Coke’s marketing department even know vaguely what the fediverse is are delusional.
