Stop posting the same low effort stuff everywhere. Post on one instance/magazine/community and start an actual discussion. Why are you karma farming? This isn't reddit.
Why are you angry someone wants to provide a conversation starter to multiple communities where its relevant? If you see something you've already read and you don't want to read it again it takes less than a second to keep scrolling, or to change the sorting algorithm you're using
