Hey guys, Rule 8 of this community calls out that it is okay to repost from Reddit (this rule preexisted my tenure here), but it seems to be pissing a lot of you off (and I get it too). Since it’s in the rules right now I can’t remove the posts so I am going to leave this post up for a few days to find out if you guys want to change rule 8 to prohibit reposting from Reddit. Personally I hate Reddit, but at the end of the day this community belongs to all of us. Let me know what you want to do and we’ll go with the community consensus.
I don’t have a problem with a meme repost from time to time. But this is !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world, people post things that annoy them and typically users engage with the post, ask questions, be angry together etc. If it is reddit repost we are engaging with the void. It is similar to reposting personal things such as AITA, relationship advice or whatever the fuck it is now called on Reddit.
all those subs are so AI/ or a writers own made ups stories. thats whyi stopped engaging on those subs originally prior coming to lemmy.
This is my biggest complaint witn it. I subbed to some of these communities when I first joined lemmy but quickly realized that there was no point in reading these discussions because I couldn’t participate on the reddit side and nobody was commenting on the lemmy side, so why even bother?
