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.

    We literally have reposting bots for hackernews, reddit, Twitter, etc. It’s nearly infinite content out there.

    Theft is theft. It’s all shit and should be frowned upon.

      Broadly I agree, I don’t want to come to Lemmy to just have an RSS reader. I want to have conversations.

      I think every post should be by a human, to have a conversation about something.
