    Lemmy: how do you feel about people taking the most popular posts from reddit and reposting them as new stuff?

      Which were already stupid questions anyway…

      I know we all hate reddit for the obvious reasons but gawd did I want to get away from the constant reposts…

      I’ve never really had a problem with re-posts of good quality content.

      It’s re-posting trash that grinds my gears.

      Reddit was 90% reposts of other posts from Reddit and elsewhere. People content farm for karma. But if you haven’t seen the content before, it’s good stuff, let’s be having it.

      Doesn’t really matter since people upvote it anyway. Complaining about reposts and stuff is as much spitting into the wind on lemmy as it was on reddit. People hate that their one downvote can’t bring down a post, so they comment instead, get a few upvotes there, feel better, and then return to the same site they constantly complain about anyway.
