I haven't seen this, so can't speak on it. What's the difference between someone reposting the same article/crossposting and content jacking?
Let's say you make a niche post about a programming feature
2-6 hours later someone copies your post exactly but doesn't cross post. Now people browsing by New see the copy first and if they do see the original it feels redundant/ spammy.
If people do talk about this niche thing it's likely they won't be talking in the same place.
You as the poster won't see the engagement with your content, you won't see comments, and you may be less incentivized to post again
Thanks for explaining. If someone is stealing posts, then it's up to the moderators and/or admins to deal with that.
But as I said, there's a lot of people on Lemmy that think theft is okay. Hence sanctioning bots to steal content from elsewhere on the net.
Theft happening to others, maybe. Try stealing from them ;)
That being said, I agree this is the moderator's job to deal with it but keep in mind that:
When it's the mod doing it?
