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.
Chicken-and-egg problem
Excellent point. Though at some point a breaking away simply has to be done… or else give up and accept that this is simply how things will always be. In the meantime, we can work towards widening this narrow set of solutions?! :-D
