What are our feelings on mirrored Reddit content? (literature.cafe)

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.

Some of the ebookdeals I post come from an rss feed I watch from r/ebookdeals. But I just use that as a trigger to post them in my own style and definitely don’t repost all of them by far.

I think generally I’m against straight up mirroring though. Especially the concept of mirroring comments, I expect to be able to interact with commenters.
