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.

      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.
