"I have seen this before, therefore no one else needs to."
That’s my thinking as well. A long time o ago in reddit, people were always claiming things were reposts, but it was new to me.
There are some things actually repostet to death and need a cooldown.
Definitely don't let these types get into publishing! 😬 Lol
Obviously a repost
Not that I'm defending the behavior, but what more elaboration is needed? They've seen it before, that's all they're saying
Sometimes it is abrepost even when I just made it myself.
Ah, well, just tell them it's OC and moonwalk away
(Or ignore, don't feed the trolls and all that)
Memes are reposts! That's their defining characteristic! They become memes by being reposted! If they didn't get reposted, they would not be memes!
Memes are in fact iterative so the more reposts we have, the more weird new memes we get. ‘S wild.
imagine someone being so self centered that they think everyone has seen every meme theyve seen.
It's such a Reddit thing. I'd almost forgotten that there were people whose only contribution to the site culture was to remind people how cool they were because they'd already seen everything.
God I love hexbear.
That's so fucking true.
I am so happy I already forgot about those redditisms.
I remember when i was on digg before v4 and all these cunts would be like i saw this on reddit
This is a repost and I have the proof right here.
Thanks to whatever app I'm using for showing the thumbnail of links, I'm never gonna give me what?! I still have the music in my head now!
Wow, awesome, like we haven't already seen this post 15 times in the last 2 weeks. Nice low effort repost, "OP"!
Ah, yes. The Repost Police. A group of individuals out to inform everyone that they're proud of spending far too much time on socials, even though no one cares to know.
You make OC? Believe it or not, still a repost.
Are there bots on lemmy? I didn't like the idea of those repost bots on reddit.
Some clients will highlight bots
If you go to lemmy.world on a browser you can hide accounts that have flagged themselves as bots
I have bot accounts hidden because during the Reddit Exodus there was so many bots posting content form reddit to ideally drive engagement and discussion but no one commented so they just felt spammy to me
Hopefully this makes sense I had to stop mid sentence to do something and I’m too tired to proof read
Repost bots existed to farm karma to sell the accounts for advertising purposes. The bots that mark themselves as such wouldn't repost (other than the reddit-to-lemmy bots you mentioned, but that's not really reposting anyways)
Nice riposte, OP.
My favorite is when it's something I made myself, how is it a repost?
repost downvoted
Isn't this why reverse image search exists? Some people are just assholes, but there are tools to help you find a source.
dupe dupe dupe
It's like the terminally online equate their filling out a meme template to sculpting a Michaelangelo.
I'm an original meme purist. I wish id never seen any filthy reposted meme even if I hadn't seen it before. I only want Virgin memes, straight from the source
Soooo, would this be a riposte to a repost?
Yeah because everyone gladly spends a few hours of theit time searching for a meme they have seen somewhere a year ago...
