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.
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

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
