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.

vague memories were that crytocurrencies could be discussed on other communities.

yes... like !privacy@programming.dev so when i see campaigning to remove the few spaces where i can discuss things I care about... it gets my hackles up.

    I like programming.dev (I am the main poster on !mechanical_keyboards@programming.dev ), but there always seem to be some technical issues with it, the most recent 11 days ago: https://programming.dev/post/31970658

    The biggest issue was probably 7 months ago, when there was a database corruption that impacted the whole instance from 13th October to 12th of January: https://programming.dev/post/20515601?sort=New&view=Flat

    Preferring one instance (dbzer0 in this case) doesn't mean other instances aren't as valuable, it's just choosing what is "the best fit" for a community
