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.

Complaining about "stolen" memes on these forums is always cringe as fuck

especially to us enlightened piefed users who get them all combined anyway

Cringe, sure, but it is still in bad taste, it's not about ownership in my mind

Tbf on some communities you get original content write-ups about various topics, not just low effort memes.
