    Actually cross posting and making 17 posts are literally the exact same thing, if you’re making those 17 posts in different forums

    Lmao I didn’t proofread my comment

      Okay Cross-posting twice to relevant forums which don’t have overlap in readers, is what I should’ve specified, is different than willy-nilly spamming for attention.

        Slight correction: crossposting twice to relevant forums isn’t spam regardless of the overlap in readership, because they are two different forums. It would be spam if they posted it multiple times to the same community on the same instance. Kind of like how you posted 10 copies of that one reply under the same comment in the same thread in the same community on the same instance. Pretty embarrassing for you tbh

          You’re using the word “forum” a bit wrong. Lemmy is one forum with several communities.

          If he posts it once on Lemmy and once somewhere else, we wouldn’t be having this chat.

          Instead he posted four (4) times in a row on one (1) forum.

          Pretty embarrassing for you to think that arguments online are embarrassing. What are you, 12?

            @Dasus@lemmy.world @starman2112@sh.itjust.works @comicstrips@lemmy.world

            Lemmy is one forum with several communities.

            No its not.

            The feed one sees (or, well, used to see) in, say, LemmyNSFW, isn’t the same feed one sees in far-left Lemmygrad or Hexbear (especially when they were defederated from the entirety of the Fediverse due to domain ownership issues), which isn’t the same feed from right-wing/far-right/ancap instances, which isn’t the same feed from automated bridging instances (e.g. Lemmit, Bridgy or Mostr instances), which isn’t the same feed as aggregators (such as Flipboard), which isn’t the same feed ones sees in general-purpose lemmy.zip… Or in geographically-specific instances such as feddit.org, lemmy.eco.br, feddit.cl… I guess you got the point.

            I’ve personally been in many of those instances, I’ve seen each of their feeds. And I promise you: they’re definitely not the same. Their contents don’t necessarily appear in other instances.

            And if we include other non-Lemmy platforms (such as Misskey), the differences goes off the charts. Misskey “forums”, for example, are definitely a whole other (animesque) world. Flipboard, Wordpress blogs… They got wholly different feeds. Some of them make their way to some Lemmy instances.

            In the end, it all boils down to which instances each instance federates to or defederates with.

            Lemmy, and by extension the Fediverse, is but “one” monolithic thing. Ain’t “oneness” when it comes to the Fediverse: this is what Reddit is (as per your previous reply to my comment), it’s Reddit which got “one forum with several communities”, not Lemmy, definitely not Fediverse.

            Now we get to argue semantics? Yay! Imagine that instead of “forums,” I had said “communities” or “subforums” or “groups” or any other similar word, and then respond to that instead of getting onto me for using a word differently from you.

            I didn’t say that arguments online are embarrassing, I said that your particular attempt to relate what OP did (post the same comic four different times in four different communities) (not spam) to what you did (post the same reply ten different times in response to the same comment) (literally spam) was embarrassing

              No, we’re not arguing semantics.

              Just like you know what species means and what subspecies mean and that using them doesn’t mean we’re discussing the species problem.

              We know that a subspecies and species are two different things and a species is every different from a completely different species than a subspecies, which is not too different from it’s subspecies.

              Lemmy is a forum. Communities are the communities on this forum.

              When I browse all and have three of the exact same posts at the exact same time, that’s not because of semantics. It’s because of spam.

              I didn’t say that arguments online are embarrassing, I said that your particular [argument online]

              And you don’t even see you’re doing it. To me anyone with your lever of rhetoric is illiterate. And that is a semantical argument.

                The crashout isn’t entertaining anymore. Usually I let people get one last reply in before I block them, but since I know how much getting the last word in means to you, I’m just going to go ahead and block you now

                  Oh yeah sure.

                  I’ve gotten that reply a million times. Not one of them has blocked me when they said they did.

                  You just say you do, so you can imagine that you’ve got the last word, when you’re just a quitter who runs away with his tail between his legs.

                    There is but one, and they’re probably offline rn. Hasn’t been active in weeks. Still report this user. Maybe report them to lemmy.world too, since they literally violated their TOS when they intentionally spammed me with 10 copies of the same comment
