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.

But as I said, there’s a lot of people on Lemmy that think theft is okay.

Theft happening to others, maybe. Try stealing from them ;)

then it’s up to the moderators and/or admins to deal with that.

That being said, I agree this is the moderator's job to deal with it but keep in mind that:

Mods are benevolent and there aren't that many to begin with.
One may still need to report the issue for the mod to become aware of it.

When it's the mod doing it?
