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.
It is hard to overcome the network effect.
That sucks for people banned from that community due to their comments shared on entirely unrelated matters in unrelated communities elsewhere on lemmy.ml. The modlog shows that people get banned from it every other day or so - very often happening to multiple people on the same day.
Definitely
