Posting which doesn't use petroleum based fertilizer

Writing spam posts like "I'm really satisfied using this website, totallynotanad.com" or "try using Company XYZ, their service is really good"

REAL humans posting. anything that utilizes bots, AI isnt organic, but reddit often bans the real humans over AI posting.

as you know reddit bans people if it looks for patterns thats repeating itself.

Hmmm, human posting? I like it.

Like you just did with your comment and OP did with their posting: non paid ad posting

A posting made by an organic life form, typically a human.

It's a variation on a reddit as I understand it, an unusual sex move. Organic posting is where, well, you don't want to know.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It's when you don't have sex because you are posting on reddit?

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

No I think it's when you sit in the cuck chair and beat off to the government raping someone while you pretend it's consensual.
