If OF takes a hold of Lemmy like it did Reddit I’ll just defederate from Lemmy all together. Nobody has time for 50 identical posts from the same user only to finish with that user’s posts just in time to pick up another OF user’s 50 identical posts. OF and their repost bot Army ruined entire communities on reddit and they for sure will do the same here if allowed.
If spam crossposting becomes an issue, we will address it. The reports we are referring to here are mainly against people who are daring to just post links in the body or comments to their OF. It's not mass crossposting.
I gotcha. Let’s hope it stays that way, you guys are in a tough spot, you need to grow but to grow you need content. OF promises to quickly deliver that content but that content may come at a price, You may lose support from users and potential organic contributors. Good luck guys, I hope that whatever the decision you all take ends up being the best for the instance and for Lemmy as a whole.
Of course. It is a fine line we are towing and figuring out, but overall content creators are being reasonable thus far.
