  • Once I reported a listing, because it was initially selling something like hair clips, got great reviews, and then somehow changed everything to a BBQ Grill whilst keeping all the old reviews.

    The listing was still up a couple of months later. Half five star reviews about some random product, half bad reviews about how the grill would randomly collapse or something.








  • I like the idea of water in cans, this rivals one of own business ventures from a few years ago.

    The issue I have with this is that this is clearly a profit based initiative, and I do not believe environmental benefits are really considered unless it adds to the profit.
    Why do they not sell the cans at a reasonable price? Because it won’t make them a billion dollars if they did this.

    I just have my doubts that this has anything to do with doing any good for the planet, it’s just expensive water that exists to fill pockets with money. Any benefit seems like a side effect.




  • The sign was made by someone else and stuck on top of an existing ad on the tube (the name given to the train system in London).

    Occasionally people manage to stick these on, and have them go unnoticed for a good while (or it takes a while for someone to get to removing them).
    Somewhat recently, someone made an ad for an illegal weed shop on the clearnet, and had those on the tube in a similar fashion for a good while before they were removed.


  • Here’s the thing though… I’ve been on Reddit for over a decade before Lemmy, and whilst there may be less interaction the interactions themselves have been far more sincere. People are more willing to engage, and even with this random comment there’s a chance someone would comment below.

    The community feel of Lemmy is something, at least I’ve found, Reddit had lost a very long time ago.

    Sort of a quality Vs quantity thing I guess?
