Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (Except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
!usa@midwest.social over !usa@lemmy.ml for your US community needs!
On the off-chance someone creates some original content, it's likely that they'll want their name to be associated with (as the post author), and I assume that they're motivated to do it by the potential engagement they'll receive (in terms of replies and upvotes).
Should they commit the crime of submitting the post to a lemmy.ml community though, then cm0002's bot will come along, and post it elsewhere. The attribution will be lost, and the post will be newer and possibly on a bigger server, so is likely to get the more engagement.
It's not like everybody who posts to a ML community is a tankie or whatever, but they lose out because of some spat they have nothing to do with.
