So, uhm, what the hell is going on with all these ad posts I’m seeing in this community?
You must log in or register to comment.
Never have seen one so I’m guessing it’s not all that common
sort by new
Looks like they might be removed (except one). Sorting by new and looking for downvoted posts I just see the one ad and an article about string theory + AI (double whammy).
And just like that you’ve seen one. Now contact the prior dude on his trist welevision and let them know.
Yeah more just commenting on the moderation work :)
Guess he’ll never know then. What are they supposed to be a detective or something?
I was letting you know. It’s all good dude, the world isn’t going to end if he doesn’t read the full discussion.

Haven’t seen any ads. Maybe your Lemmy mobile app is inserting ads?
Bots and lack of mods on different timezones most likely.
Would probably make sense to have an account age requirement and comment requirement before posting somehow.
I think this would be great to limit this. I really don’t understand people wanting to comment right away. I just lurked for like a month to get a feel before I decided to participate.
A brand new account doesn’t necessarily mean the user hasn’t been lurking for a while. I lurked on Reddit without an account for years before creating an account there, and during the Reddit drama last year, I lurked here and a few other places, but didn’t create an account anywhere until I actually wanted to participate.
I bet you will make one a day sooner if you know you won’t be able to post for day.
I don’t know. Only reason I create an account is to comment and post. Why otherwise have one?
to subscribe and get a curated list of what you want to look at. I can’t imagine lurking without subscriptions to what im interested in.
I guess a timezone difference too since I never see any ads.
Saw that too, it’s annoying. In a weird way, spam kinda legitimizes this platform as a Reddit alternative.
No idea, but I notice it too
Just blocked and reported an account and the single shill-post it produced. Not sure what to do about it, maybe we need more mods
What do you mean? When I lurk here, I ignore the sites that Idk. I rely on sites that I know are legit like Verge, Techcrunch, Engadget, Cnbc, Bloomberg, Ars Technica and Electrek. The sites that Idk may be legit too but I don’t wanna spend much time researching the legitimacy.
