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.
yes… like !privacy@programming.dev so when i see campaigning to remove the few spaces where i can discuss things I care about… it gets my hackles up.
I like programming.dev (I am the main poster on !mechanical_keyboards@programming.dev ), but there always seem to be some technical issues with it, the most recent 11 days ago: https://programming.dev/post/31970658
The biggest issue was probably 7 months ago, when there was a database corruption that impacted the whole instance from 13th October to 12th of January: https://programming.dev/post/20515601?sort=New&view=Flat
Preferring one instance (dbzer0 in this case) doesn’t mean other instances aren’t as valuable, it’s just choosing what is “the best fit” for a community
