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”?
It’s fine to have different communities. !politics@hexbear.net and !politics@lemmy.world should indeed both exist and be different communities.
Having crossposts to communities which are completely similar (same rules, same moderation and admin policies) just splinters the discussion.
