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.
Seems like they do?

Same for the last link, this is the OP post: https://clj.social/@planet/114720549432446993
That account is labelled as a bot on Lemmy: https://lemm.ee/post/67434573
Do we consider crossposting bot content as stealing?
Are you sure it’s not an issue with how Voyager deals with crossposts?
That’s a good point. Maybe the lack of cross posts is just my issue.
It isn’t because I use the web directly, and I see it the same way, usually.
They show correctly on my side
