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 a good point. Maybe the lack of cross posts is just my issue.
It isn’t because I use the web directly, and I see it the same way, usually.
It might be worth to maybe update the OP to add that crossposts didn’t always appear correctly for you.
