    Constantly reposing duplicates en-mass makes the experience way worse for those of us who don’t have a personal vendetta against particular target lemmy instances and who haven’t defederated with them out of spite or distaste

    It’s not possible to cater things in a way that’s pleasant for everyone at once. Your slightly degraded experience, is another’s “godsend” be it because they were forced out of .ml because of the “horrible” crime of supporting ukraine or calling out Russian propaganda or because by choice ala instance defederation or choosing to block them

    Hence the reason people say, you need to cater your feed for an optimal experience.

      Making the experience worse for everyone because you have a personal ideological disagreement with another instance is hardly what I’d consider a justified moral crusade, but it’s easy enough to block reposts when they’re coming from a single user, so you do you.

        I’m curious how you can justify speaking for everyone? How is everyone’s experience worse? I’m sure the users of lemmy.cafe or any other instance that defederates or otherwise blocks .ml don’t notice a degradation.

        I’ve even had people thank me for doing what I do because it’s actually an improvement for them so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

          Reposting these memes shows up on everyone’s feed regardless of if they’re subscribed or federated with .ml - i’m not speaking for ‘everyone’, only pointing out who your script is impacting, which is everyone in that subset.

          Not everyone has gotten banned on .ml.

            Just a small point of clarification, there’s no script, every crosspost is done manually. It would actually be rather impractical to script it, since I wouldn’t want to accidentally crosspost some Tankie crap, like an RT article or a pro-NK meme or something lmao
