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.

    No, the rationale is to allow people to block (more like mute, Lemmy-blocking doesn’t really block) lemmy.ml

    If !fantasy were to switch to [email protected]

    • lemmy.ml users would still be able to access it
    • users lemmy-blocking lemmy.ml would still be able to access it, and see comments from .ml users

    That’s an improvement over it being at .ml, where the second point isn’t possible
