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.

I have to say I haven't come across this issue too often as I basically never browse /All. But I definitely have noticed this with cm0002's personal crusade against .ml pissing off more than one poster in communities I follow.

yeah, that is exactly who is causing the pain. I was blissfully ignorant of it, until someone explained their grevience and I labeled them in voyager as a jacker, and now I see how duplicative and bad for lemmy they make everybody's experience.

So, are we all just supposed to accept the .ml instance bans? https://feddit.nl/post/16246531

I'm not the biggest fan of the way @[email protected] handles this, but at the same time, the usual recommendation for people unhappy with the way a community was managed was to make their own.

Also, the "authorship" issue is brought up a few times in this threads, but don't @[email protected] posts always credit the original author?
