lol did you get this from whoever posted it an hour earlier? Or did you just both get it from the same place?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Crossposted from them as part of ongoing boycotting efforts against the .ml instance.

Though it doesn't show in this case because they put the image link in the body, and I really hate that, so I fixed it on crosspost lmao

To take stuff off .ml you must be reading it - strange version of "boycotting". I just ignore it.

Since Lemmy doesn't suck down data like corporate social media does simply lurking doesn't contribute to an instance's growth.

And when you crosspost that content elsewhere, with no comments or upvoting on the original, it diminishes that instance's power and influence just a bit and contributes to a more decentralized Lemmy-verse

We should be doing the same with .world, not because of toxic propaganda pushing admins, but just so that content is more decentralized in general. But I'm just 1 person who refuses to automate it, soo I can only do so much lmao

On Lemmy, big comms, user counts and content are an instances influence, the more you have the less others will be willing to defederate from you. Kinda why .ml can get away with so much crap

This is just following the capitalist model: steal stuff without any credit/payment to the originators, feel smug for "your innovative ideas."

Honesty is an option. Go in with good faith, not like you have the truth. For example, "this publication says....how can I believe the publication's refute? I don't know what to believe because propaganda everywhere. How can I know this isn't propaganda? Additional information please," or something. Then take the time you spend in self-congratulatory mockery to follow up. I mean I honestly dk, I've said some really uninformed stuff over there and am somehow not banned.

Sometimes we just can't always know what to believe and that's okay. I usually just wait for more information, and sometimes that takes a really long time, or never comes.

All my cross-posts that have been identified as OC are credited back to the user in a way that does not link back to the .ml comm

.ml does not return that good faith, I don't consider banning and censoring the opposing view to be welcoming good faith arguments:
