reposting trash makes Lemmy a trash filled site

if actual good organic content is promoted, then its better for the site

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I think too many people are worried about "what is better for the site".

I think lemmy would stay nicer if it grows slowly and doesn't try to attract necessarily every demographic under the sun, like reddit tried to. Worrying about stuff like "high quality content", reposts, and maximum community engagement seems to me like it is a speed run to toxicity and bloat.

Also this community is practically explicitly for reposts, so maybe you would improve your personal experience by just blocking it?
