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 could not agree more. @cm0002@lemmy.world could maybe use a bit of self-reflection in that regard.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah bro just decided to be a dick about it to random individuals.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I don't target random individuals, this is about the problem with the admins of .ml. I cross-post to reduce the influence of .ml comms to make it an easier decision for instances admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate, is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms

Some highlights from the link:

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

Yes scraping content like a bot is really gonna show them.

Whats ironic is world has more censorship than ml yet you made it your home 🙃

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well it's had a noticeable effect, .ml traffic is way down since when I started 5 months ago, .ml memes has gone from ranking 14th to near 30th

.world does not have a censorship issue, I can confidently say after being heavily in the modlog for months now. I don't see .world admins in the modlog micromanaging everything to push harmful propaganda.

I encourage everyone who sees this go-to lemmy.world/modlog and put dessalines or davel in the "mod" box (one of the only instance that doesn't have this disabled btw) and see for yourself.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's because they have propaganda you agree with.

Non of that changes the stalker like behavior you have

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Prove it. I can, and have proved it to the point I have an entire megathread and there's a thriving comm on it at !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

"Stalker behavior" implies stalking specific people, I'm not stalking anyone.

[–] bonjour@mander.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

As a victim of yours, i can say it feels a lot like stalking. Not to mention your avatar, which is directly aimed at me because i dared to complain about you reposting everything i post to !crows@lemmy.ml, within minutes, with the goal to reduce any interaction i might be getting.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

@SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world gave me this stock photo.

And you seem to have a habit of taking things way too personally, like everyone is out to get you. You've even accused jet, who was somewhat on your side as "attacking you"

I don't track individual users, I just use the freely available .ml RSS feed, I forget about you until the next time you pop in my notifications like just now lol

[–] kux@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

@SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world gave me this stock photo

and that was nothing at all to do with the situation described by @bonjour@mander.xyz obviously. come off it

I don’t track individual users,

shows screenshot with ~~tracked~~ tagged user

yeah that's different. good luck on your holy spambot mission i guess

Right-wing Nut, when I first encountered this user months ago they were sounding kinda right-wing, though they are still marked as "possible" because I have also encountered left comments to and I haven't had the time to confirm either way so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm a non-denominational wackadoodle.

[–] bonjour@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

That was a joke, i have not seriously accused them of anything.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca -3 points 1 week ago

Being melodramatic about the crows comm thing again 🤭

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago

Prove you're stalking the instance to pull content or that world is pushing propaganda?

At least make a bot account to do it so you aren't as obviously stalking for content.

[–] goferking0@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Getting worse with them now doing it to ask lemmy posts
