    I have no idea how this is controversial. Why is posting your own memes/comics worse than posting someone else’s content?

    You can see exactly why in this very comment chain, people talking about organising followers to boost things etc

    The point of a link aggregator is not to act as veiled marketing for social media accounts or cosplays. Posting your own shit is 9 times out of 10 just promotional crap. Like this. Lemmy doesn’t need content that exists primarily to drive traffic elsewhere, or shit content for the sake of shit content.

      It could certainly do without your shit contributions.
