    Calling articles “lazy content” is extremely unintelligent. I’m disgusted that you should say that.

    Reposts, not articles themselves. Reposting someone else’s writings from the web as a link is objectively low-effort work that could be handled by a dozen-line script.

    Reddit and Lemmy are link/news aggregators.

    Maybe they started as such, but now it’s a small part of their scope. I don’t perceive them as such, rather as a general-purpose forum. I go to Lemmy/Reddit to ask a question (e.g. how to repair a thing), voice an opinion, start a debate, talk about stuff, read comics, etc. I don’t recall following a single community that is about link aggregation.

      No no no you don’t get it. Lemmy should be what THEY want it to be, not what everyone on Lemmy collectively makes it. Anything otherwise is wrong simply because one bloke online is very certain it rots your brain.

      I don’t know what you’re referring to. Copy-pasting content instead of linking directly to the source is frowned on for numerous reasons.

      Sure, that’s a secondary and perfectly valid use. The OP of this thread posted an image promoting memes. That is what I criticized.

        Pasting a link is even easier than pasting text.

        So, no more memes on /c/memes@lemmy.world?
