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.
If the admins of a instance have a policy of no Lemmy on Lemmy mugging that’s enough. I can provide a list of frequent jackers from their instance.
The single most prolific jacker is on lemmy.world
They reupload the same photo or url over and over, so it’s trivial to identify.
I scrolled ALL and think I saw one of the offenders.
