Comment on Lemmy instances that are focused on mirroring Reddit content?
vintprox@kbin.melroy.org 8 months agoIt does not merit a verification of the author, when you hold their content encaged somewhere they did not approve yet. You say it's to increase registrations on Fediverse and for the brighter future, but please remember to deal with this ethically. Creator deserves to know first that your mirror (or whatever ends up being) intends to seek engagement with their piece.
Linking to original, as you propose, is an aftermath. Asking for consent and delaying repost is not a rocket science, either.

You only need to recall where it took the Internet Archive, no matter the intent it has. But let's presume for a minute that a lot of it is educational.
