HailCorporate - Infosec.Pub
infosec.pub
/c/HailCorporate is to document times when people act as unwitting advertisers for a product as well as to document what appear to be legitimate adverts via native advertising. What acts as an ad, is an ad, no matter if it was put there sneakily or because someone has become inured to a brand so far that they don’t even know they are a walking ad. We have strict “Don’t be a jerk” rules that are enforced with immediate banning. The guidelines are more likely to result in a post removal or warning, but breaking them could result in a ban.

HailCorporate is a community for individuals committed to unmasking the deceptive practice of astroturfing and exposing fake product testimonials. In a digital age where the line between genuine endorsements and corporate manipulations is increasingly blurred, our community has become necessary. Here, we collectively call out comments and posts where everyday people, often unknowingly, become pawns in a company’s PR strategy, spreading scripted messages under the guise of personal opinion. HailCorporate’s mission is to foster a culture of transparency and authenticity, empowering fediverse users to challenge the covert tactics used by most multinational corporations to astroturf the fediverse.

    Based on OP’s comments on this thread, I can only imagine what the modding of the community is going to look like

      Let’s characterize it!

      I won’t abide stanning for the billionaire class or calls to impotent civility. I very much have in my heart EXACTLY the spirit of what /r/HailCorporate was and if you doubt that, you are exactly the type of corporatist cuck that I created this community to reveal.

      Now to characterize your privileged perspective:

      “I have no sympathy for marginalized groups, quite literally pleading for their lives. If they wanted my sympathy, they should have done so more politely!”

        I haven’t even gone into my personal opinions, but gj on deducing them.

        Just what the fediverse needs. Another pit of toxicity and baseless witch hunting.

          It’s also not generally a great idea to go all out attacking the people who cared to look at your post about your new community.
