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.

    At least not systematically, and not within a day of the original posting (so if something becomes topical)

    So only for OC content, not for news / articles?

    The only way to not have to do this is kill any similar community before it grows.

    Consolidation is an option

      yeah, as a first pass, that seems to be the most contentious thing right now
