Crossposts might be annoying, because
- essentially they are the “repost” feature of lemmy. And repeats might be low quality spam, because you have to look at the source, how often it was reposted already, etc.
- crossposts might seem like a cry for unwarranted attention, but they might be necessary in a fractured federated system like Lemmy …
Or do you not care when realizing “this is a crosspost”?
I’m the opposite. I don’t mind seeing a few copies of the same news when it is current, that makes sense. The zombie reposts that keep popping up every day (then once again another week later for some reason…) get really annoying.
