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.
The point is doing this way removes any of the joint discussion a cross post would bring.
Then there’s all the other content they scrape without any tie to where they found it like news and memes.
In their desire to, honestly don’t know anymore what their rage boner against ml is anymore, kill ml to make lemmy more like reddit they’re making them look like a crazed ex by the frequency and speed of posting what they grabbed from othet places.
At this point would be more favorable if they were a mirror bot than just manually doing this
There is no other way to do so as Lemmy identifies crossposts based on URL links. When there is no link, it’s not possible to identify a crosspost.
The crossposts are visible for memes and news:

the obvious other way about it is to just stop
