We've had a bit of a conversation, over in the big NoStupidQuestions community:
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37540045

While I have my own opinions on lemmit.online, I think it's relatively uncontroversial, that copying content from amateur and indie creators is unethical.
I'd like to request differentiating between the regular Reddit content, and amateur pornography plus OF creators and their original content. And deactivating the bridging for subreddits that contain a decent amount of the latter.

My rationale is more or less that it's not very Robin Hood to take things from people who aren't well off in the first place. And that more or less regular people have the right to decide what happens with pictures of their naked bodies, and we can't just spread them across the internet without their consent or ability to closely control their intimate stuff.

And what's with the other point, that a lot of content is uploaded (illegally) by other people? (Copyright-theft, re-posts, circulating revenge-porn, old pictures that people want to get rid of, ...)

I'll leave that to the reddit moderators and community to decide. There are thresholds in place to ensure they have time to filter out illegal material before it gets crossposted.

And again, so far no original poster has reported any posts on these bases. But I have no qualms with taking it down if they do.

Alright. I don't share that perspective, but it's your instance. Now you got one general complaint (and whoever agreed with me in the linked discussion, or defederated from lemmit.online for that reason), but that's more on a meta-level. Thanks for listening.

One last question: Does the bridge (reliably) delete posts which got deleted on Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It does not, since it's not a bridge, but a one-way syndication.
