Crossposts might be annoying, because
- essentially they are the “repost” feature of lemmy. And repeats might be low quality spam, because you have to look at the source, how often it was reposted already, etc.
- crossposts might seem like a cry for unwarranted attention, but they might be necessary in a fractured federated system like Lemmy …
Or do you not care when realizing “this is a crosspost”?
I’m not annoyed by cross-posts, but I’ve seen plenty other users who are, to the point that IMO this issue should be addressed.
I don’t have a good solution for that though.
