That’s literally the meaning of meme or memetic; ideas are passed on like a virus. I know it’s annoying to repost memes but that is the circle of memes xD
I rather have a repost instead of all these motherfuckers only posting a link to some external website which throws a 404 error.
I am a serial crossposter. And I’ll keep crossposting whether you like it or not. You will not see OC from me, my friend.
only one message for reposters: if you didn’t make it, don’t post your lazy regurgitated trash
There’s a simple reason why reposts will always happen, never stop: different people have seen different things. Your reposts are other people’s never-seen-before content.
If you repost something there is a good percentage of people who have never seen it. If you create it that percentage is 100%
insert xkcd 10,000 people obligatory everything is a repost
To be fair, I purposely didn’t do a deep dive on xkcd so that whenever I did see a related post in the comments, it was almost always fresh to me. I figured this was true of a lot of people online.
I see we got reddit’s whining about reposts.
I fail to see how sharing memes is a bad thing. Lemmy is a great community, its leagues better than what Reddit was, even in its heyday, and certainly better than the shit-buffet it has become.
While OC is great, it’s really tough to make, especially at the frequency needed to provide new content and keep people interested. Further, 90% (or something) of people on here lurk, with the remaining 10% split between commentators and posters.
Don’t like it? Vote with your feet.
hi, yes, piece of shit here
where do I get more of them cute doggy memes with the subtle threats in those stylistic fonts
Also, like what breed of dog is that
I feel like you’re probably joking but that’s a possum, not a doggo.
I was gonna make a joke about not trying to pet one of those or you might get rabies, but it actually seems that they have natural resistance to rabies and are generally pretty chill animals. TIL.

Managed to confuse someone besides myself while high
fuck yeah I think that could be an achievement
business acumen or something idk I’m high as fuck
tldr yeah was just being silly I know those aren’t dogs.
…
While looking for an opossum meme on my phone, not finding it between all the Luigi Mangione memes, and taking one from Google images instead, I had an introspective thought. Apologies if the confusion thing came off as rude. I did not intend to insult you, I just intended on celebrating my silly.
With high doses of cannabis, for me, it’s “think fun thoughts = feel good feelings”. Sorry if I made you feel bad feelings. You got a really cool instance name, if that could possibly lift the mood and undo emotional damage. Also, I’m not just saying that. It’s cyberpunk af which is sick as hell homie
(As caused by my mind-altering chemical intake)
(That previous additional caption joke was a coincidence, I did not know what the caption was before writing the accessibility description)
God damn you really do be litty right now.
I didn’t take it as rude or insulting at all, you’re just overthinking and paranoid bc you’re high af.
Plus I’ve already taken an immense amount of abuse on Lemmy because I’m an admin, people always end up popping off on me no matter what I do. I see you’ve been here a long time so you may remember a few months after the APIcalypse when trolls were spamming the most disgusting stuff and I had to keep banning them as quickly as I could. This guy took it personally 😂
Turds gushing like a broken damn
Uhh, I guess one could argue that it’s poetic? Like he knows he’s a piece of shit. He knows there are other pieces of shit. But he’s too stupid to know that there are probably admins in multiple time zones when you go to sleep, NLP-powered blacklists and other automod tools. (I’m assuming)
wait did he set his username to specifically call you a slur?
we are definitely not smoking the same strain
probably not even smoking the same substance
I don’t mean crack or bath salts or whatever
I mean like, carbon monoxide, leaded gasoline and rare deliriants.
Didn’t know I was talking to a mod, so wasn’t intending to ass-kiss. Uh let me say something to prove I’m not biased but not break the rules.
Your 2nd favourite song probably isn’t all that great
Yea he kept making new accounts and I kept banning them, so then he did that. Well, good luck with the rare deliriants my friend. Pour one out for me.
Possums are awesomes! Possums eat ticks and other stuff you don’t want around and are immune to rabies. Good animal to share space with.
If reposting memes, then why not do a quick reverse image search and grab a better version, as well? It seriously only takes mere seconds most of the time.
Tineye works great, but there’s also Google reverse image search when that doesn’t provide the results you hope for.
Not only does this generally improve the experience for everyone, but it also makes the platform much more appealing to outsiders that care about quality and will drive more quality users to Lemmy. On top of quality, but also things like links to and information about the creators, which is especially important for things like comics because the more people that know where to find the creators the more those creators can keep making their art.
Obviously, I do my best to contribute to this, but the more people that join in the better.
But the jpeg artifacts make it funnier!
no_nothing demands only original trash for cm002 to regurgitate
eh Im just happy yall are here
Maybe this already exists, but what about a feature which allows tagging a post as a link to a previous/original post, which can be used by clients to filter out reposts if desired.
Perfect post 5/7 score! The narwalls bacon at midnight! Did your mom break both your arms?
Don’t forget Natalie Portman covered in hot grits along with Natalie Dormer and a clone of the former.
Isn’t Natalie Portman and grits originally from Slashdot?
It happened closer to the construction of the Great Pyramids than to today.
I know the rest of them, but not that one.
Here’s the original thread
sigh unzips
:(
Something something jolly ranchers
Bitching about reposts is of course very original
I accept reposts are a part of the fediverse because every instance will have the same damned memes and since I’m federated with quite a few of them, I’m just gonna have to deal with it. Just my take.
I feel like apps could probably aggregate posts with the same links somehow and allow users to flip between comment threads; but I have no idea how to make that work on the backend.
I’m not much of a dev at all but Id o use AI to help me build app infrastructure. If nothing else, it teaches you how python and react work.
You might be seeing posts from the 196 community, which recently split up (personally, I had the old ones blocked and then due to it splitting, the new 196 community showed up in my feed).
The 196 community is very much about quantity-over-quality, when it comes to posts, and as such reposts do happen often, too.
No shade on that, but it’s also not for everyone, so yeah, you might want to just block those communities.196 wouldn’t be as bad if the user base across all communities were higher. But yeah, I’ve blocked that community. It’s a nice community but it adds too much noise.
Yeah, switching from reddit to lemmy gives a “old internet” wibe: actual people, most of them technically inclined. But with more adoption, these people get diluted by all other kinds of folks.
Same happened with cypto scene. It started with cythography entusiasts, but now it is mostly tech bros.
It’s easy to avoid redditization: just stay away from the “general interest” instances because reddit or facebook will always do general interest better than any platform run by volunteers w almost no budget.
"Just stay away* will only bring it in faster. You need resistance
It’s like when Mom says “just ignore the bullies” a strategy that bullies thrive on because they can bully and know you’ll walk away
Pick a smaller, focused website and focus on Local. Then you can ignore what’s going on elsewhere.
Lemmy isn’t a community, it’s a technology. And ActivityPub is madw with the goal of letting anyone and everyone use it and participate. Just like HTTP. Griping because “the wrong kind of people are showing up” is the kind of thing the wrong kind of people do.
You don’t get to build your gate in the public square.
What about when the mod is the bully?
Post passive aggressive notes as often as you can, make big honking stinkin posts screaming about the injustice, and eventually make a new community on a different instance, I guess. Just from observational experience.
Yes this is the most efficient and foolproof method for dealing with bully mods, can confirm.
