we are defederated from lemmit.online as the bots there was just far too much already but I’m curious about whether we should do the same for alien.top and or its sister instances (there’s a lot).
If you aren’t aware of what that is, it’s a site ran by another instance that mirrors reddit content over into ghost subs and mirrors the comments as well.
Personally? I’m not a fan. Like, at all. I understand the desire but I feel like its not only asking for Reddit to throw down with a legal fit but also feels just… annoying. We don’t need a critical mass of content, we need QUALITY content. More does not equal better.
One of the things I like of lemmy is the limited content. I can keep up with all the posts and comments of the communities I like. So being flooded with copied content odd counterproductive in my opinion. And copping the comments as well feels creepy and morally dubious.
Even I like the limited content. That way I can keep up with what’s posted on communities I follow.
