What are our feelings on mirrored Reddit content? (self.meta)

we are defederated from lemmit.online as the bots there was just far too much already but I'm curious about whether we should do the same for alien.top and or its sister instances (there's a lot).

If you aren't aware of what that is, it's a site ran by another instance that mirrors reddit content over into ghost subs and mirrors the comments as well.

Personally? I'm not a fan. Like, at all. I understand the desire but I feel like its not only asking for Reddit to throw down with a legal fit but also feels just... annoying. We don't need a critical mass of content, we need QUALITY content. More does not equal better.

The only thing that bothers me are the tags people add to them like [Stolen from Reddit] or w/e.

If it's content that might be interesting to folks here, fuggit, post it. But don't point back to Reddit when you do it - that just directs traffic back to that shithole and kills the conversation here cuz no one wants to engage with anything that has a big neon REDDIT sign hanging on it.
