Not everyone is on Lemmy at all times. Just because it was posted 3 months ago, which is not really short enough to say “just 3 months ago”, doesn’t really mean anything. I didn’t see it. Either I was not active or it didn’t show on my feed. This can apply to a lot of other people. Then there are people who have joined since.
It was 3 months ago. A quarter of a year. If this was posted last week, I’d get it. But 3 months?
Policing reposts is just bizarre. You end up spending time yourself scrolling back through or searching through previous posts to find a link to comment as a gotcha. But… it’s not a gotcha. This is the internet and this is a content sharing site. Reposts will happen.
I do not understand this stuff at all. It’s just totally and insanely foreign to me.
Not all posts are made for you. A repost for you is not a repost for other people. Calm down.
Edit: Downvote me all you want. If you’re so genuinely upset and angry about a repost from 3 months ago then I don’t really care about your opinion in the first place. Other people exist. If you’re not kind enough or considerate enough to think about literally everyone else who might not have seen it then I don’t know what to tell you. Think about someone else for a change and stop thinking your experience is universal. It isn’t.

Okay. Guess I’m just going to use this as a copypasta in the future considering the exact same shit happening.
Original comment.
God I thought we left these comments on reddit.

If I haven’t seen it, it’s new to me!
