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 ;)

      then it’s up to the moderators and/or admins to deal with that.

      That being said, I agree this is the moderator’s job to deal with it but keep in mind that:

      • Mods are benevolent and there aren’t that many to begin with.
      • One may still need to report the issue for the mod to become aware of it.
