replace lemmy.world with whatever else you think is a better choice for it

Clarification: reposting here refers to reposting done by another person who was not the original poster

    Why though?

    We can just subscribe to the community on lemmy.ml, there’s no point reposting when it’s already there ready to federate.

      Because cm0002 is reposting content without prior permission, it made me think about it, people got a real hate boner for lemmy.ml but maybe they have differing opinions for reposting?

            Do you think that people generally need to ask permission before reposting something (non-OC, anyhow) that was shared on a public forum?

              I reckon that this topic is - at least partly - about my desire to not have my OC insta reposted by them. So it is about OC.

              I don’t mind the normal cross post, but this half automated reposting, with the stated goal to reduce the already measly interaction i get posting niche stuff, that i don’t like. But apparently, at least according to @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world , I need to see a mental health expert for taking issue with that.

                  Thank you. I certainly don’t have the ambition to make money off off my content, I just want to share it and have fun without being bothered by this person and have my content dragged into political obsessions. That’s it. It would be nice if they could just leave me alone, but they don’t.

                FYI, it’s not automated, the most automation I use is notifications. Everything else is done completely manually. And crossposting is easy, a notification comes in and I can take care of it in most cases right away wherever I’m at because, ya know, smartphones LOL it just takes me a few minutes lmao

                Also, you’re slinging insults at or about mods, comms, admins and whole instances that have nothing to do with it so maybe that’s where they’re coming from on that lol

                  I said half automated. I am slinging insults at you, and the mod, not instances wtf, that is your life’s mission. I sling insults at you because you ignored my polite requests to not please repost my content there.

        He also steals crow pictures which I’ve reported to every crow picture stealing authority imaginable and all I get are welfare calls from mental health experts.

          Very funny, right? That I don’t want to have my pictures insta reposted, with the stated goal to reduce the already measly interaction i get posting niche stuff? You thought that was so funny you drew them that avatar. Bravo.

          Everything’s got to be about politics here.

          the mods who run it (and also created the lemmy software which makes this whole thing more complex) love stalin and mao (theres a reason why its Lemmy.ml and not .com, the ml stands for marxist-leninist) and putin and often silence opinions they disagree with on their platform. They use their instance to spread their propaganda about authoritarism and communism and while their aren’t the only instance to do that, the other ones weren’t run by the Lemmy devs, so other instances defederated from them - I’m talking about places like hexbear and lemmygrad

          theres people who’ve been on Lemmy longer than me and have spent time documenting some of the more insane mod actions and views of the .ml admins and Im gunna go find that right now

          edit: ok I found it, here’s a list of stuff the admins there have done: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279 and here’s the community about documenting stuff I got the post from https://lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

          posting these as .world links because .ml has blocked them (which of course they did) so I don’t then you can sub to that comm from your account

          They were to the left of netanyahu. centrists don’t like that.

          .ml is the third instance that centrists have a problem with. When their constant whining gets them what they want and .world defederates from .ml, they’ll pick another instance and start whining about that.

            I’m sure the moment they defed from .ml after years of complaining about .ml after not doing the thing that would make them happy, dbzer0 will be the next on their chopping block of “Tankie Triad” or whatever the liberal echo chamber says.

              conservatives don’t like being reminded that people to their left exist.

              until they lose an election and need someone other than themselves to blame.

          They’re all part of a conspiracy community where they think every nation or group the West doesn’t like is good and, less plausibly, working together. They take issue with anything that goes against that narrative.

          Honestly it seems goofy but harmless to me. But, many people take personal offence. And they did make Lemmy.

            I think it would be mostly harmless if they didnt they to use their unique position as the ‘main’ Lemmy instance to spread their crazy ideas beyond the confines of their space

            like theres other far left echo chambers in the fediverse, but theyve been mostly defederated from, like hexbear

              So what though? “We’re the baddies” has the opposite of mass appeal, even in other cases where it’s true and makes sense. They can shout at clouds all they want, along with the flat Earthers.

    Repost, no.

    They should grow organically on nicer instances.

    I try to unsubscribe ML communities when I find a decent alternative anywhere else.

    Sure, why not. And they can do the same over to their side. And stealing certian content from Reddit would also be good.

    I assume crossposts are handled properly by Lemmy’s feeds? I don’t think I’ve noticed duplicates much. My answer would change if not, because there’s going to be no way to predict people’s replication preferences.

    I have, before, posted one item that I thought was interesting on !technology@beehaw.org to !technology@lemmy.world, as I know that beehaw.org has defederated from lemmy.world and the item was interesting and otherwise lemmy.world users wouldn’t have seen it.

    I don’t think that I’d try to mirror the complete content of a community, though. I mean, different communities may have different interests.
