If anything, shouldn’t it be encouraged, and even automated? I’m including even the ‘old’ stuff from reddit here. Reddit shouldn’t be the absolute owner of the content submitted by users. When I migrated here, it wasn’t because of me being against reddit users, but being against reddit the company. Copying the content here actually hurts the company in sense that they don’t get to then gatekeep the crowdsourced content.
I don’t see it that way. I think it’s also a problem with meme posts being automatically copied over. I really like the engament and like to interact with the community. Reading and writing comments is why I’m on a forum style website. And I wrote A LOT of them
This is my 500th comment on this account alone. I had a few others before settling on this one and I also was pretty active on reddit with over 100.000 Karma most of it in comment karma
I’m also a prolific commentor. I’m unlikely to comment on something like an AITA post that was copied from elsewhere by a bot, but that hesitation doesn’t apply if it’s like a news item or a meme. Maybe if there are suddenly hundreds in a row I’d be less likely.
Even on Reddit, much of that kind of content originated on Facebook, Twitter, or whatever.
Sure, but it’s bad if theres more content that the users can comment on. It gets boring after a while
