I feel it's pretty reasonable to guess that you have some sort of bot that may be a work in progress you're testing considering the low post frequency rate. If I'm wrong, I'd be interested in why you're pulling old posts off Reddit for posting here. I don't really care much either way, but I'm sure you can understand why it might be considered odd behavior. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] cm0002@no.lastname.nz [S] 7 points 7 months ago* (2 children) I rotate between smaller instance accounts to better help their exposure and comm connectivity. My comment frequency comes and goes depending on my mood or how busy I am. This account has just had some light comment activity so far. This was actually part of a .ml crosspost (below), I reverse image search image posts if I'm unable to tell if it's OC or not. This Reddit thread and other things that just point to its thread were the only items to come back so I figured why not throw the actual source source in lol Why am I cross-posting .ml content? I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms. Megathread on the issue Some highlights from the link: .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068 "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415 "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167 "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342 "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035 General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510 And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long. I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 child) I'll be straightforward and just say I don't understand some of that stuff yet, and it's honestly not much of a priority to me to do so. Just as long as I can have a far less shitty Reddit-like experience, I'm happy. Just getting too old to keep up with the constant change anymore, I guess (along with being slightly handicapped by mental issues like ADD).
