▲ 52 ▼ Is large scale direct reposting of content from corporate social media healthy for the Fediverse? (piefed.world) submitted 2 months ago by SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world to c/fediverse@lemmy.world 29 comments fedilink hide all child comments I can see if accounts do it occasionally and organically but are accounts that exist solely to repost popular and recent posts from twitter/reddit/Facebook healthy for the Fediverse?

The guy has a point, if it’s highly upvoted on Reddit there was a lot of people who enjoyed the post. There is also a very loud portion of people who absolutely hates it, (and I can agree that it’s a bit weird to repost content that relates to someone’s personal experience), but I think it’s actually a vocal minority. Perhaps a minority that is overrepresented in the Fediverse meta communities. Of course it would be awesome and the best if most of the content on the Fediverse was original, but I would be concerned that it’s actually would become too much of a ghost town if the small number of accounts that post a shit ton of content would leave. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world [S] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children) I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was labeled at a bot post so I can filter it out easily but to constantly create new accounts spamming the content is annoying as shit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago (1 child) Important point.
