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.

            Prove it. I can, and have proved it to the point I have an entire megathread and there’s a thriving comm on it at [email protected]

            “Stalker behavior” implies stalking specific people, I’m not stalking anyone.

              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 [email protected], within minutes, with the goal to reduce any interaction i might be getting.

                @[email protected] gave me this stock photo.

                And you seem to have a habit of taking things way too personally, like everyone is out to get you. You’ve even accused jet, who was somewhat on your side as “attacking you”

                I don’t track individual users, I just use the freely available .ml RSS feed, I forget about you until the next time you pop in my notifications like just now lol

                  and that was nothing at all to do with the situation described by @[email protected] obviously. come off it

                  I don’t track individual users,

                  shows screenshot with tracked tagged user

                  yeah that’s different. good luck on your holy spambot mission i guess

              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.
