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.
Not always and they dont use the cross post mechanic.
Seems like they do?
not always
On the first post, the crosspost is there:
Same for the keyboard one:
For the second post, not sure where it came from as the URL research only shows this post: https://lemmy.world/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.ca%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F58081294-1211-4b0b-b929-d8b5e682ec6b.png&type=Url&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
Same for the last link, this is the OP post: https://clj.social/@planet/114720549432446993
That account is labelled as a bot on Lemmy: https://lemm.ee/post/67434573
Do we consider crossposting bot content as stealing?
Are you sure it’s not an issue with how Voyager deals with crossposts?
In some cases, I cross post from the infamous Yogthos who has been widely site banned and won’t show as a crosspost to anyone on an instance that has banned them
In other cases, I crosspost from users who are on instances that either aren’t widely federated with (Beehaw) or intentionally widely defederated from (Grad, hex). It won’t show up as a crosspost in those cases either
That’s a good point. Maybe the lack of cross posts is just my issue.
It might be worth to maybe update the OP to add that crossposts didn’t always appear correctly for you.
It isn’t because I use the web directly, and I see it the same way, usually.
They show correctly on my side
