Huh.. I cross post stuff regularly just to try and help spread where people can see stuff given how small the fediverse is, I hadn't considered someone might find it annoying if I regularly cross-posted their submissions
this guy vaccums up stuff from lemmy.ml instances and posts it to lemmy.world as some sort of wierd vendetta against lemmy.ml ideology or some such. As I mentioned to him if he would just post it himself from the devils panties website that would not be as annoying but its that I post and within and hour he does his thing no matter what time of day I post. Every day. I don't post the weekend ones so he does not unless I do because I liked a saturday. Its like the virtual world version of someone parroting everything you say . ie. stop copying me, stop copying me, no I said you stop, no I said you stop.
The problem with lemmy.ml that the admins sometimes ban users from all .ml communities, regardless of topic. So if someone had a personal beef on political debate, they will ban the user from !comics@lemmy.ml. If you are interested some stories about what's going on there, read some posts on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com or on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works.
Some instances already block lemmy.ml. So it's not a simple vendetta, cm just want to help spread your posts to those people banned by ml admins and instances which preemptively defederate from them
It's called cross posting and lets people who are in different communities see the same content without just having a bunch if individual separate posts. Some front ends let comments be combined into one post when it is cross posted.
Plus I have lemmy.ml blocked so it lets me see the same content, and thank you for doing the initial post!
That's fine, but link the original post, don't try to pass it off as your own, especially when disparaging the OP/original instance.
Ah, I usually just write "crosspost" in the title or body somewhere, that way people know to look for the original thread if they want more context
That's great, and I'm sure OPs appreciate it. Thank you for having integrity. It's too often sorely lacking.
yeah sorry its just an issue where I can't put screenshots into relies So I needed some way to do it and was hoping it would be cool here. Its from https://piefed.social/post/1092217. So I needed to show him that I never got a message reply but he shows as having replied so we at least I think have proved that part to each other.
Are my replies posting out of order again? I replied to https://lemmy.world/comment/18515136
No apology necessary, please accept mine for any confusion!
It quite context dependent.
I've recently had positive feedback from crossposts
Certainly. I don't have issues with crossposting in general, just the way its being done systematically by the one user in this case. Especially when I had stopped posting to the original instance due to getting a devils panties removed. So im specifically not posting there.
