  How is this blog spam if it provides an approach on how to fix it (next to a recap)? I just put it on there because I collect stuff there.

  But yeah, whatever, Lemmy is an interesting place.

  This is certainly not spam but rather a blog response, a time honored practice as old as blogging itself.

  OP’s article links to the source article (albeit via its fedipost rather than its blog post; maybe best to link both) and contributes to the online discourse with a long form reply, detailing a possible solution.

  Mischaracterizing such a clearly well-intentioned contribution as “blog spam” is harmful.

  This is not spam. The blog post discusses a current hot topic. There’s no advertising on the site. OP has nothing to gain by sharing this. Don’t make people hesitate to post quality content just because the topic has been discussed elsewhere.
