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.

    That’s cool, but if it’s only piefed I can see the same conversations being repeated. Maybe it’ll come to Lemmy. Or is Lemmy old hat now and we should all move to piefed?

      The Lemmy devs recently stated that this is a client problem, and that they don’t plan to change that

      In lemmy-ui we’ve chosen to link the posts at the top rather than combine comment threads.

      IMO it’s a shame, because having the consolidated view is just much better to initiate conversations, but at least Piefed offers that options.

      Or is Lemmy old hat now and we should all move to piefed?

      A few instances popped recently, so there’s definitely some traction towards that. Also the 1.0 version was just announced on [email protected] .

        Of course they don’t, because Dessalines is too busy agenda modding to add new features.
