Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
Hello!
This community is a casual community for the instance Monyet.cc, where we can hangout and talk about nonsense. This instance is hosted by and for Malaysian, and as a side project for r/Malaysia from Reddit. This place were created by @dcx@monyet.cc at the time of Reddit blackout, so some of us see this as second home since then.
Thanks. That's a lovely place.
Please do join the discussions if there are any topics that interest you!
You're welcome to hangout here as well 😊

LMAO: https://www.axios.com/2023/08/15/x-twitter-shuts-100m-promoted-accounts-ad-biz
Yeah, stay on twitter. It's so useful for discoverability.
From article:
X, the company formerly known as Twitter, will no longer allow advertisers to promote their accounts within the platform's timeline to attract new followers, according to an email to advertising clients obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: Promoted accounts — or "Follower Objective" ads — generate more than $100 million annually in global revenue for X, a source familiar with the company's business told Axios.
Promoted accounts are one of the oldest ad formats offered on the platform. The ads appear as text-based posts within the X timeline and include a "Follow" button for the account promoting them. But follower ads, while easy to sell, are static. They don't leverage any of the multi-media tools, like video, that X is trying to lean into.
Details: In a note to clients on Aug. 10, an X representative said the company planned to start "depreciating the Followers objective" ad unit beginning as soon as last Friday.
The representative wrote that the change "comes as part of a larger effort to optimize the X experience by prioritizing content formats." They further noted that given client's strategies are reliant on the followers objective ad unit, X — in the weeks ahead — "will work to identify alternative routes to meet these goals. As of Monday, the Followers Objective was still listed as an advertising opportunity on X's business website.
What they're saying: Asked for comment, X acknowledged that the company was depreciating the ad unit. It said it's made recommendations to clients to try other types of ad units, including engagement campaigns, which put an advertiser's name and account at the forefront of an ad, and reach campaigns that allow advertisers to pay for additional ad impressions.
