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.
Theft is theft. It’s all shit and should be frowned upon.
Yep. It’s why I’ve blocked most repost bots. It’s just a barren thread with content from elsewhere that might even not exist on the original platform anymore
Broadly I agree, I don’t want to come to Lemmy to just have an RSS reader. I want to have conversations.
I think every post should be by a human, to have a conversation about something.
Piefed allows for better conversations thanks to the consolidated comments view
