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.

      I don’t target random individuals, this is about the problem with the admins of .ml. I cross-post to reduce the influence of .ml comms to make it an easier decision for instances admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate, is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms

      Some highlights from the link:

      "Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

      “See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

      .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

      CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic

      And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

          Well it’s had a noticeable effect, .ml traffic is way down since when I started 5 months ago, .ml memes has gone from ranking 14th to near 30th

          .world does not have a censorship issue, I can confidently say after being heavily in the modlog for months now. I don’t see .world admins in the modlog micromanaging everything to push harmful propaganda.

          I encourage everyone who sees this go-to lemmy.world/modlog and put dessalines or davel in the “mod” box (one of the only instance that doesn’t have this disabled btw) and see for yourself.

                As a victim of yours, i can say it feels a lot like stalking. Not to mention your avatar, which is directly aimed at me because i dared to complain about you reposting everything i post to !crows@lemmy.ml, within minutes, with the goal to reduce any interaction i might be getting.

                Prove you’re stalking the instance to pull content or that world is pushing propaganda?

                At least make a bot account to do it so you aren’t as obviously stalking for content.

                  A bot account would be a good idea, so that someone can separate @cm0002@lemmy.world the actual human account vs. the automatic ones, if they wanted to block those. Democracy is based on choices so providing more choices helps increase freedom.
