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.

In some cases, I cross post from the infamous Yogthos who has been widely site banned and won't show as a crosspost to anyone on an instance that has banned them

In other cases, I crosspost from users who are on instances that either aren't widely federated with (Beehaw) or intentionally widely defederated from (Grad, hex). It won't show up as a crosspost in those cases either
