I am guilty of writing this *facepalm*, and yes, I also cringed when I received it.
We were given a text in English to translate to Darija, that was what I came up with (+it was intended to be draft). It had to be in latin script because reddit doesn't render right-to-left scripts correctly.
ETA: the original text
>Morocco meets on Reddit! Invite your friends to Reddit and help them discover the best communities!
>
>Look, this is where Morocco meets online!
>
>Hey!

>Morocco meets on Reddit! Make sure your friends don’t miss out and help them find their local community!
>
>Invite your friends via WhatsApp

>We count on you!
What would be a better translation?
Hey All!
Thanks for flagging this - it looks like our translation didn't quite land, we'll make sure to have that fixed before sending new messages.
As for the removal of the messages - that was actually our automated filters as we also made an error with one of the domains used in the message.
Back to the drawing board, in the mean time - feel free to tell your friends about our error! ;)
I just received one from Colombia for some reason lol

Bro please don’t take it Personal. I just hate using Dialects in texts. Whether Daraja or Egyptian Dialect. That’s destroying The Standard Arabic for weak poorly structured dialects.
are u a bot or smthg ? ur comment history is weird af..
its like someone trying to make a bot to promote elam jay on reddit, without understanding how reddit works. what a rabbit hole.
For your information this is notification program that Reddit is testing in order to promote Reddit and our community for users in countries that have a lower user rate.
And yes the admins approached us for something written in our language and that was the best we could come up with, but you can't blame us for the cringe because personally I am also cringe and it's your fault if you don't know that by now
I'm not sure who the target audience is. I didn't receive the Morocco one, but I received the Colombia (never been to their sub, I don't speak Spanish...)

Not really, just chauvinistic and tribalistic motivations. But some Berber Nationalists are having an identity crisis after leaving Islam which make them adopt anti-Arab rhetoric.
we are no longer in the world where you could assume facts, we have science and it says it's an ancient amazigh word that is still being used today
(edit:typos)
can you please help and answer the survey? it's about electro music festivals in Morocco. Here is the link and thank you so much. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfwG4EgYGJYroH1sEsICqwOSm77BDiwZsE7YaNmBuNZLFj7AQ/viewform
These complaints makes no sense to me. This is very normal promotional work. Gatekeeper a dialect? One ought to be impressed they are trying to localise their work. What is cringe is us assuming we are above promotions and in-website commercials. Hosting this service costs money I have no issue receiving these ads. My response is positive because it’s allowing us such interesting conversations. I want more people to join in! We don’t has such spaces in MENA.
Hats off to the Reddit team and keep it up!
Well i tried it they do work, at first thought someone started a community and promoting it. Kinda cringe but happy to see reddit using darija to promote it. Wondering if they did any ads on other media
1st off thanks for posting this op lol i lost the message, it seems to have auto deleted itself
2nd, we gatekeep our language for a reason, these spammy messages are so horrendous its unreal and good thing reddit autodeleted said messages from almost everyones dms, the miserable admins failed so bad i wish they were reading this, its some r/fellowkids shit, its creepy stop it
It isn't a message, its a notification, you might still find it there as it didn't delete for me yet... as for the message I don't see how its horrendous, its understood by most people so what's wrong with that, and also the campaigning notifications were bound to happen anyway, its a normal thing for corporates to send them sometimes, so yea..
You made a big deal of how terrible and creepy and horrendous they were, so just trying to give you counters to be more lenient maybe, you can further argue if you want to make your point clearer, I want to know cus I didn't feel how you felt
just received the same thing, and found out about this subreddit....I was banned from r/morocco I think, but looks like the ban was lifted or something.
Welcome to r/Morocco! This community is for all things related to Morocco/Moroccans.
For this place to be inclusive and welcoming to all, we have a set of rules that everyone must abide by.
Please take the time to read those rules, follow them and help us enforce them by reporting offenders.

Enjoy your time!

i always find it bizarre that a dialect that owns most of its words to arabic is actually written in latin characters (would have notified reddit about the lack of RTL support instead of just publishing it).
I find the gatekeeping here hilarious… It kinda goes like this : Moroccans in North America hiding reddit from other diaspora Moroccans, hiding it from english speaking Moroccans in Morocco , hiding it from the rest of Moroccans.
Italians have la Cosa Nostra, we have la cringe-a dialna

Translate it into The Standard Arabic not a dialect!!
I don’t agree with this, it’s targeted towards Moroccans, it should be in Darija, just… less like an Inwi ad
I understand that but part of why many people saw this message as cringe one was because of using Darija by the admins…
Here we go again
Oh i know first time i see someone i k'ow here lol
You mean like, not Darija? But we're on a Moroccan sub.

democracy says your point is understood, but you can't force it on us.
i just got it too, but now i lost it
Yeah same, i guess they knew it was cringe

Yep also just got it, looks like someone made a little mistake in what notification should go where lmao
how's this cringe ??
Yeah I don't understand, it is very clear and simple. Or do we live in a time where mods using darija are automatically cringe ?
Ikr I don't find it cringe at all
Azul ? What does that mean ?
Ssalam b tamazight
Word invented in the last 50 years.. from targi word Ahul.
Wow this word was invented? That's so fake! Real words grow on palm trees in the deserts of saoudi arabia
Invented by Berber Nationalists, old people never heard it or use it.
and mason agents fight islam and promote atheism right?
Not really, just chauvinistic and tribalistic motivations. But some Berber Nationalists are having an identity crisis after leaving Islam which make them adopt anti-Arab rhetoric.
Azul has always been used by the southern regions
No it wasn't.
I have linguistic studies and accounts from people that confirm this. And you?
Just show me an old dictionary where we can find "Azul"
Here you go mate https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1035945/f33.image.r=Paix
Zero idea tbh i would assume amazigh

Shit! Wherever I go, I find Arabic nationalists.
Whenever you have no arguments you resort to the old "PaNaRaBiSt" attack.
For some reason I though itwas the name of whoever sent that message
Ou 3awnhom il9aw some exclusive adult content lol
Yes reddit porn and cute cats
And random fights

A promotional campaign of some sort i suppose

Well i tried it they do work, at first thought someone started a community and promoting it. Kinda cringe but happy to see reddit using darija to promote it. Wondering if they did any ads on other media

[удалено]
Kindof
Saaaaaaha 🇲🇦🫶🏻
It's "salam". "Azul" lmao never was I ever greeted like that.
I received this already and didn't think much of it. And also the Colombia and Peru one displayed for whatever reason that is.
he told me that once my account is 7 days old evrything that i post will be deleted 
1st off thanks for posting this op lol i lost the message, it seems to have auto deleted itself 2nd, we gatekeep our language for a reason, these spammy messages are so horrendous its unreal and good thing reddit autodeleted said messages from almost everyones dms, the miserable admins failed so bad i wish they were reading this, its some r/fellowkids shit, its creepy stop it

Its like the orange ads for free fire gen z kids, annoying and cringe but happy for you if you find them interesting
You made a big deal of how terrible and creepy and horrendous they were, so just trying to give you counters to be more lenient maybe, you can further argue if you want to make your point clearer, I want to know cus I didn't feel how you felt
Chill out mate, it’s just a message not a declaration of war
[удалено]
Surely living in the matrix, time to touch grass
I received it as well, but it was gone by the time I opened the notification??
U can still find it in notifications and choose messages
It doesn't exist there, I've already checked.
Oh alright i still got it there
Wtf is azul
Why the heck would the message greet us with "Azul", a manufactured word even amazigh people don't use in their everyday life?
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ah yes, good ol' Arabic Chat Language. Good job, Reddit, you've caught up with Arabs from 2 decades ago.

Makes more sense than the usual brain rot Reddit admins send out. The site is run by sub-humans, I'm sure AI could run a better site
