What you’re complaining about is the same image being reposted multiple times…
That’s not necessarily reposting, and probably make up a minority or reposts
I’m not positive, but I think OP is possibly extremely poorly communicating their position.
I think @AllegraGory@sh.itjust.works means:
“If a creator of original content posts their content online, subsequent posters shouldn’t capture/crop/alter that work then upload it elsewhere robbing the original content creator of attribution or the monetary gains they might received from hosting it on their original site. Instead, what subsequent posters should do is link to the original content at the original URL leaving the creator in full control of the hosting and perhaps any revenue they would receive from their work”
I’m not taking a position either way on this with my post merely translating what I think OP is actually trying to say. OP, please correct me if I’m wrong.
Hey, lemme ask you something. If somebody uploads something, and you upload, like, the exact same file somewhere else, without linking to the original designated artists url, what do you call that?
and you upload, like, the exact same file somewhere else,
Rehosting, which is what I just said…
What you’re complaining about is the same image being rehosted multiple times…
I don’t know if repeating it will get us to a different result tho
I mean… I get what you’re getting at with literally copied content, but… come on, this framing of the issue is strictly ridiculous in the most literal sense…
You lost me at 'Fuck'. As a potential new member, how could I be willing engage in a community putting forward rudeness?
I would suggest you may want to consider to calmly explain the issue at hand (my Lemmy feed is tightly curated and I do not think I noticed much of what you mention), without insulting anyone and without using doubtful dirty tricks to grab people's attention, maybe sharing some real world examples?

CP doesn’t mean CopyPasting OP…

I think they know this, and were aiming to exploit that initialism by associating its negative connotations with the totally unrelated thing that they don’t like.

I wonder if that was intentional since OP hates copy pasting enough to equate with…something else that’s very distasteful online.
