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”?
Not particularly: often they really are pertinent in both communities, & it is better to speak redundantly than to not-be-heard in 1 domain where one needs to be heard…
That isn’t to say all crossposts are honest, though: spammers exist, & need to be … um … packaged inside cans of processed-pork, until they stop spamming?
