      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

    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…

    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

    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.

    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.

    Even as a joke, sending a real advertisement to people is completely unacceptable and deserves an immediate permanent ban. If they had created an ad for something fictional I’d be a little less annoyed about it but it still seems like a bad idea.
