PSA: Bot advertiser going around

6 months ago by Taalnazi to c/meta

Hiya, i'm not sure who runs programming.dev now nor where to tell, but might be worth to inform them there's a Coca Cola advertiser going around in DMs, that's from y'alls instance. It's https://vger.to/programming.dev/u/DrinkCocaCola

Yeah this is the exact DM they send. I suspect it's an ad or a scam attempt by having you click the image with something attached.

This has to be a troll. There's no chance that Coca Cola thinks it's a good idea to advertise by sending generic copy through DMs on Lemmy.

They have been banned. If any other accounts do something like this, please report the DM's so that we have visibility.

Praise be, thanks!

I actually did try reporting but couldn't, it hence why I did it this way.
