Get ready to stock up on games for you and yours and celebrate your favorites during the Steam Autumn Sale: November 21st at 10am PST to November 28th at 10am PST!
It’s not a discussion when your point is basically accusing Lemmy of being controlled by marketing PR teams, which is clearly not the case
Because people that are posting comments like yours aren’t adding anything, it just sounds like they’re upset people are excited about things they aren’t excited about.
Post: Trailer for the next Steam sale, which a lot of people are interested in
Comment: So sad that people are being controlled by marketing teams and posting ads for companies. We should not have these posts. You are all being manipulating by big capitalism.
You accused me of being dramatic but then discredit what I said with an overly dramatic take like that.
That is not what I said.
That also is not true. They do add their thoughts and observations which is what I thought these forums were suppose to be about. These are communities that should be for users. What I said I observed is suspicious because it happens only in places like r/marvel or other sub reddits that are heavily controlled by PR teams. Posts are made, people give their honest opinions, posts get deleted. I have been seeing it more and more.
These marketing teams are the reason all these social media sites fail. Lemmy is unique right now because lots of us learned from reddit. The issue isn’t posting a sale you like. The issue is censoring and hiding what the community really thinks and manipulating these spaces so its favorable to whatever marketing team pay the most.
You said other users have said similar. It tells me there might be something to pay attention to if people really want Lemmy to stay as honest and community focused as it is right now.
