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.
Thanks for explaining. If someone is stealing posts, then it’s up to the moderators and/or admins to deal with that.
But as I said, there’s a lot of people on Lemmy that think theft is okay. Hence sanctioning bots to steal content from elsewhere on the net.
Theft happening to others, maybe. Try stealing from them ;)
That being said, I agree this is the moderator’s job to deal with it but keep in mind that:
When it’s the mod doing it?
