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.
Sorry, I’m not that familiar with KiwiFarms and Destiny. Are they known for massively crossposting content to Lemmy communities?
For having communities that maximize harassment, usually within the limits of moderation efforts. The latter with malicious community rules policing and reporting, etc, especially.
The idea is to pick targets no one really wants to defend.
(…lolcows they’d be called, which was the style at the time… anyways I’m old.)
Okay, but how is that relatable to the issue discussed in this post?
Are you saying that .ml admins are KiwiFarms transplants?
No. I find some of the people who make .ml admins an issue for Lemmy seem to be, or engage in the same behaviors.
