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.
Yes scraping content like a bot is really gonna show them.
Whats ironic is world has more censorship than ml yet you made it your home 🙃
Well it’s had a noticeable effect, .ml traffic is way down since when I started 5 months ago, .ml memes has gone from ranking 14th to near 30th
.world does not have a censorship issue, I can confidently say after being heavily in the modlog for months now. I don’t see .world admins in the modlog micromanaging everything to push harmful propaganda.
I encourage everyone who sees this go-to lemmy.world/modlog and put dessalines or davel in the “mod” box (one of the only instance that doesn’t have this disabled btw) and see for yourself.
That’s because they have propaganda you agree with.
Non of that changes the stalker like behavior you have
Prove it. I can, and have proved it to the point I have an entire megathread and there’s a thriving comm on it at !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
“Stalker behavior” implies stalking specific people, I’m not stalking anyone.
As a victim of yours, i can say it feels a lot like stalking. Not to mention your avatar, which is directly aimed at me because i dared to complain about you reposting everything i post to !crows@lemmy.ml, within minutes, with the goal to reduce any interaction i might be getting.
@SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world gave me this stock photo.
And you seem to have a habit of taking things way too personally, like everyone is out to get you. You’ve even accused jet, who was somewhat on your side as “attacking you”
I don’t track individual users, I just use the freely available .ml RSS feed, I forget about you until the next time you pop in my notifications like just now lol
and that was nothing at all to do with the situation described by @bonjour@mander.xyz obviously. come off it
yeah that’s different. good luck on your holy spambot mission i guess
What is RWN?
Right-wing Nut, when I first encountered this user months ago they were sounding kinda right-wing, though they are still marked as “possible” because I have also encountered left comments to and I haven’t had the time to confirm either way so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Right-wing nutjob.
I’m a non-denominational wackadoodle.
That was a joke, i have not seriously accused them of anything.
Being melodramatic about the crows comm thing again 🤭
Prove you’re stalking the instance to pull content or that world is pushing propaganda?
At least make a bot account to do it so you aren’t as obviously stalking for content.
A bot account would be a good idea, so that someone can separate @cm0002@lemmy.world the actual human account vs. the automatic ones, if they wanted to block those. Democracy is based on choices so providing more choices helps increase freedom.
I mean sure, except there is no automation lmao it’s all done manually by human hands
Those hands are busy ha ha
It doesn’t matter: I am speaking of acting in full friendliness to the recipient. Right now someone (such as OP) has the choice either to block you or not block you, whereas having those reposts be done via a separate account opens up a new possibility to not block you the human, but do block those reposts. Of course, it would be your call but I thought I would offer the suggestion as something to ponder:-).
Or maybe the time for all of this is over - as you said somewhere here recently, lemmy.ml is dying off now, unlike when you started, so perhaps the Threadiverse is past the need for this effort to spread things around? I would go so far as to say that if the rest of the Threadiverse cannot survive without posts from lemmy.ml, then that does not bode well for our future? At some point - and perhaps we are there already, it being now 2 years since the Rexodus - we need to either sink or swim on our own?
Edit: fwiw, I personally blocked literally all users from lemmy.ml 9 months ago - going so far as to move to PieFed where I could actually accomplish that aim - and I have enjoyed the Threadiverse much better since then! :-) We’ll be fine then, methinks.
!privacy@lemmy.ml and other communities are still the references on their topic by far
Maybe, I’ll ponder it, maybe experiment a bit. But I have not achieved my goals yet, so it’s too early to end it out right
Just blocking .ml on an individual basis, while good for individuals to not see their crap, doesn’t really fix the problem. The continued spread of misinformation and attempts to enforce the narrative as “truth” by making it appear as though there’s no dissent about it (on .ml).
This is harming the overall growth of the Threadiverse IMHO. New users come, aren’t aware they need to block .ml and miss the threads talking about it, and then get scared off when inevitably they start going on one of their rants about how NK isn’t a dictatorship. Or maybe they never come back after commenting in support of Ukraine or something (Which they continue to push the Russia narrative is being entirely run by “Nazis” and Russia was justified to invade), get dunked on and then catch a ban for it.
Russia has been talked about for having mis/disinformation campaigns for the purpose of furthering their goals for at least a decade now. We should not be a party to allowing that to spread. And I see a crap ton of various untrustworthy news sites they pass off as highly credible and will viciously defend it and censor anyone who calls it out.
