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.

    Or maybe the time for all of this is over - as you said somewhere here recently, lemmy.ml is dying off now, unlike when you started, so perhaps the Threadiverse is past the need for this effort to spread things around? I would go so far as to say that if the rest of the Threadiverse cannot survive without posts from lemmy.ml, then that does not bode well for our future? At some point - and perhaps we are there already, it being now 2 years since the Rexodus - we need to either sink or swim on our own?

    !privacy@lemmy.ml and other communities are still the references on their topic by far

      It is hard to overcome the network effect.

      That sucks for people banned from that community due to their comments shared on entirely unrelated matters in unrelated communities elsewhere on lemmy.ml. The modlog shows that people get banned from it every other day or so - very often happening to multiple people on the same day.

      Yeah, you noble saviours of the fediverse need to keep on trying to destroy those evil communities, like the ml crows one.

          Did you not follow me to the sopuli meta comm, making up stories about my character, to try and discredit my complaint about this?

          I guess it got a bit too uncomfortable to defend when bystanders create topics like this, so you give in a bit but keep on applauding and talking about the importance of this ill intended reposting.

            I didn’t follow you anywhere, I subscribe to most of the meta communities of active instances to see what is happening.

            This post doesn’t seem there anymore, I guess you removed it.

            IIRC (which might not be the case, as the post isn’t there anymore), I didn’t make up stories, I pointed out to previous comments from your part, which showed your past behaviour

            Deleting accounts prevents accountability from past behaviour.

            I agree that @cm0002@lemmy.world should probably stop crossposting posts from people who explicitly asked them to stop, but on the other hand most of the people probably don’t mind (example of me asking someone who thought that nodoby needs permission to post a link somewhere else: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45767421/19161995)

            @cm0002@lemmy.world, maybe just crosspost content from https://old.reddit.com/r/crows/ rather that !crows@lemmy.ml

            https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47235271/19581440

            If you see applauding there, we can just disagree.

              Yeah, i do remember you made up stuff there. Something like how i would be someone who is against lemmy and shitting on the project as a whole, you were also linking that post that you linked here again as “proof”, funnily you also posted that one somewhere here in this topic for “context”. What context? I don’t get what you find offensive about that post.

              And yes, i thought (still think) you and the other people coming into that topic with your “lemmy world is trash” takes was besides the point and dumb as hell. And it was like the first three out of four replies with that take (i guess shitting on world was more in fashion than it currently is), that annoyed me, so i replied to that. I have no problem being accountable for my past behaviour, i don’t think i misbehaved, i never got banned anywhere, never got a post or comment removed. Wait, i got a post removed from android@lemdroid, because i was asking a support question or something.

              And that one non applause comment of yours is being followed with reasons why the reposting should continue, https://mander.xyz/post/32516449/20320288 also reads a lot like you saying the reposting by “no-bot busy-hands” must go on.

              edit: Found your comment making up stuff:

              OP has a 7 days old account, with most posts being aggressively against a consolidation suggestion on !fedigrow@lemm.ee

              Not sure who’s harassing who in this scenario https://sopuli.xyz/post/24284086?scrollToComments=true

              Edit: seems to also be the new account of this person: https://sopuli.xyz/post/22808036/14753860 who was overtly agressive and negative towards the platform as a whole

              So first you tried to discredit me with the 7 day old account shtick, then minutes later edit in the rest, knowing full well i was not a new user. I even mention and link to my old username in the PSA, you can still look at them since the deletion did not federate properly, so no attempt at conceiling my “horrible past behaviour”.

                Are you active on privacy communities? Following your logic about crows, you should not care.

                edit: Found your comment making up stuff

                As you removed the post, we cannot actually discuss what happened there.

                You also removed your other comments in that thread: https://sopuli.xyz/post/24284086/15574358

                As I said above, there’s no point about discussing things when you constantly remove comments and posts, removing any potential accountability

                  I don’t follow the privacy community but

                  and other communities

                  Not sure what logic of mine you’re talking about.

                  Oh and here is my post in the sopuli meta comm with my comments included, where you came in making up stuff about me and here is the complete crow/corvids consolidation topic.

                  edit: Kinda interesting to see that all you seem to want to do in that sopuli topic is discredit me, apparently fully supporting the whole crows/corvids shenanigans.

                    In crows people post OC. Because they are interested in crows. You and the fucking mod are only here for political reasons and have never posted anything other than fucking reposts from crows.

                    For the aggression:

                    i don’t want to move to your dead comm just so can wank yourself to sleep over your fedipurity fantasies.

                    For the negative towards the platform, your posts still appear as deleted on https://kbin.earth/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/943009/PSA-Lemmy-account-deletion-is-a-mess#comments so we can’t assess
