“Come make friends on Reddit”
Silly Reddit, bots aren’t going to sign up because of an ad
Reddit is the most new-user-unfriendly site I have ever been to. You’ve got to farm an unknown amount of karma before you can post or comment in subreddits. There’s a reason I’m at Lemmy now. Fuck Reddit. (Also, 4chan is a toilet. The occasional nuggets of good stuff aren’t worth trawling through pages of shitposts for.)
Rule of thumb: the more something is advertised, the more shit it is for one reason or another, and you’ll do well to avoid it altogether. When I’m advising people on contractors, my number 1 rule is: if they’re on TV, they’re criminals, I promise you.
Mullvad is good though
The only time I’ve seen Mullvad get promoted is by word of mouth.
Nah I see mullvad billboards around me a lot
They have millions of posts, and this is the funniest they could find? Sheesh.
they haven’t yet banned all the anti genocide people.
I hate that still some troubleshooting that I need to do is much easier when I look for answers through Reddit…
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
The guy that used to mod /r/jailbait? Yup. That guy.
I don’t know about the rest of the images, but the last one is definitely photoshopped. Check out the reflection on the floor.
The second picture on the house seems suspicious as well.
By exception, advertising is forbidden at the following locations:
On the walls of buildings except when these walls are blind or have at least one opening with a unit area of less than 0,50 m²
Within 100 meters and in the field of visibility of buildings with an aesthetic, historic or picturesque character

There’s big money behind it now, I guess. 🤷
Wow, I’ve never seen them actually pull ads for membership. Site must be struggling for real users. Bot takeover isn’t working out, shouldn’t have banned the top users for petty bullshit.
The archive of past posts and problem solving is the greatest value of the site.
raises hand
Literally in the top 1% of karma users in 2023. Banned in 2024 for…
checks notes
…posting a comment that my bike was stolen when I was 7.
Reddit claims the ban was done by a human. However I just cannot see a human looking at the post I got banned for, and saying “This guy deserves to get banned”.
My best theory, based on the timeline, is that they offered me a presale enter IPO offering before it went public. At the time I was on cancer treatment, and had $0 income, with my two sisters and mom paying for my apartment.
I had no ability to buy an IPO.
3 days after it went public, I still didn’t own stock, and was banned. Because I said my bike was stolen 30+ years earlier.
sucks about the bike mang
I got banned during women’s March just for cheering. Lemmy is a perfect replacement.
I hope you’re cancer free now.
^^I ^^also ^^hope ^^you ^^get ^^your ^^bike ^^back.
I got banned for saying we should have hanged every part of the Confederate leadership for treason.
I too got banned for voicing non pc opinions.
They’ve done it before in the USA. My guess is that they want to push their non-English offerings, which is something they’ve only focused on recently.
Reddit: “Come make friends on Reddit, France!”
Also Reddit: “Ew… French 🤢”
jus engage bro, just give us more data bro, just doomscroll all day, comment all the post bro, just engage bro, we need to keep the users coming bro, so we strike a better deal with google bro
“Make an account”….”get banned before you can even verify”
I would vandalise those to link to lemmy is I saw them tbh.
Nah dawg. I’m good on the censorship.
Who wouldn’t want to talk to bots and train “AI”?
