Content jacking/reposting is a problem on Lemmy. (hackertalks.com)

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 wanting to get banned again on another alt is understandable.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me

🤣

Also interesting that the wishes of consumers are apparently to be prioritized over those of creators.
