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

is it an aprils fool joke or is it really just poor timing? i would wait till tommorow and then suggest banning thus acc.

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.
