So I’m scrolling through All New and on these memes I’m seeing comments saying stuff like “I see xyz company advertising on Lemmy” even though there’s little to no brand indication on the post. (Other that some kind of German meat + beans, but even then no brand came to mind for me)
If this AI company driven advertising is real on Lemmy what are the admins doing to prevent this from happening?
We can report, and then block them ourselves.
As for my experience, I haven’t noticed any obvious advertisements.
I sort by new and all, and I’ve seen a lot of them, most of them coming from kbin. If you don’t frequently sort by new, they might get reported before you see them, and if you don’t subscribe to communities on kbin, you probably don’t see them at all.
Ah, so it seems. I may not have seen them because i browse by all and top six hours.
I may have to sort by new for fifteen minutes before i finish scrolling lemmy. to help everyone report and block this trash.
