If it absolutely must be copied then the cross post mechanism should be used.
We literally have reposting bots for hackernews, reddit, Twitter, etc. It's nearly infinite content out there.
Hurting Lemmy users makes it harder to grow the platform
Wait, so what you're complaining about is something other than crossposts? 'Cause to me, this thread sounded like you were just bitching about crossposts.
Edit: you should copy your explanation here into your initial post itself so that we all understand what you were actually talking about.
Theft is theft. It's all shit and should be frowned upon.
Broadly I agree, I don't want to come to Lemmy to just have an RSS reader. I want to have conversations.
I think every post should be by a human, to have a conversation about something.
Yep. It's why I've blocked most repost bots. It's just a barren thread with content from elsewhere that might even not exist on the original platform anymore
