Content jacking and top posting other people’s content is really bad for Lemmy. It’s also just being a dick to other people making content on the platform.

  • feed is spammy
  • divides conversation
  • chills engagement
  • makes Lemmy less friendly to posters

This pattern is very common on lemmy, and needs to stop.

This is often used to attack or force migrate conversations from a instance someone doesn’t like to another instance they do like. It’s offensive by its very nature.

If you want to make a better community, great, do it but not at the expense of other Lemmy posters.

    Or maybe the time for all of this is over - as you said somewhere here recently, lemmy.ml is dying off now, unlike when you started, so perhaps the Threadiverse is past the need for this effort to spread things around? I would go so far as to say that if the rest of the Threadiverse cannot survive without posts from lemmy.ml, then that does not bode well for our future? At some point - and perhaps we are there already, it being now 2 years since the Rexodus - we need to either sink or swim on our own?

    !privacy@lemmy.ml and other communities are still the references on their topic by far
