To me it's reading from different perspectives and other's writing style. It's really important when it comes to political stuff or anything else that you need to base a decision on.
But I think it applies even just to plain articles about a niche you follow.
Like, maybe some new GPU features get released for Linux or something. Gamingonlinux might cover it from a Gaming perspective whereas Phoronix might focus more on the hardware aspect of things and the original blog post or changelog or whatever might just give a mostly a list of changes and a description.
Funny that you need 50 accounts for any reason other than block evasion. But those upvotes are so incredibly important...
I tried telling OP that they weren't promoting small instances simply by using them to post to other instances because most Lemmy users are already on their chosen instance to begin with just yesterday. I also told them that they were just making it more difficult for users to curate feeds since OP makes it next to impossible to block. OP didn't care.
Dingding! Absolutely correct!
My reasoning is as follows: Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of posting it makes smaller instances more recognizable, making comms on fitting smaller instances, protecting against the imposter problem and better interconnecting smaller instances
Besides, if I really wanted to do block evasion, it would be far more efficient to use random names. Each account would last far longer before becoming "recognized"
Also, unlike corpo social media, likes and upvotes are worthless here.
Kind of hard to block you when most people do so and then assume the problem is fixed, not realizing that you have all of these accounts.
Jesus Christ.
Also which app is that?
It's Boost on Android.
Thanks!
Claims to promote smaller instances, only posts to the same communities on the largest servers...
Whatever you say bud. You keep quadruple posting junk from 50 different accounts and telling yourself that votes don't matter to you.
Yes the large instance of poweruser.forum !jellyfin@poweruser.forum or !cybersecurity@infosec.pub or !science@mander.xyz or !biology@mander.xyz oh yea definitely the massive instance of discuss.online !retro_gaming@discuss.online or !retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org or !hoch@lemmy.sdf.org or the juggernaut of instances civilloquy.com !nottheonion@civilloquy.com or even *gasp" lemmy.cafe !gunnerkrigg@lemmy.cafe or even !corvids@sopuli.xyz or !mediapreservation@pawb.social or !TheShitpostOffice@lemmy.dbzer0.com or !electronics@discuss.tchncs.de or !music@lemmy.sdf.org
You don't need to use your dozens of accounts to do that. Even if you create communities on these instances with those dozens of accounts, you can still opt to use a single account to actually contribute instead of looking like a spam network. Why not do that? And no, it's not "promoting" a small instance to make posts to other instances with them. I again would argue that most Lemmy users don't pay attention to which instance an OP is signed up to.
Oops, must've missed those in the midst of all the quadruple-posted junk. Or maybe it was the wrong alias...
