Comment on At-home STD tests offer new options for screening and treatment
cm0002@lemmings.world 3 weeks agoTaking content from them, doesn’t support their instance in any way. Upvoting, commenting and posting on comms on their instance does. Which I don’t do and by cross-posting content away onto non.ml comms it reduces their activity bit by bit but revitalizing other similar comms

According to your logic, crosspost links always display, so by crossposting from ML, you’re driving traffic there and reducing friction. Right? It’s right in your post, you even said so!
In fact, on the standard Lemmy UI, it’s not in a submenu at all…it’s just straight up linked under the post title. No extra click required. So what’s the difference?

Well sure, it’s not foolproof, but the vast majority of users are probably not using the default Lemmy UI (because it kinda sucks lol) and instead are using an app or other front end.

People should know that you’re crossposting from transphobic instances, in my opinion, so I’ll continue letting people know, especially for those using screen readers. Also, I use the default Lemmy UI almost daily.

Don’t worry, I don’t crosspost anything that’s transphobic or propaganda or that weird…spam post that shows up from time to time…
It’s a big reason why I can’t bot it lmao
