I mean, I see no problem with someone creating an instance specifically for this, it would even be good for archival purposes. But doing it here? Hell naw, I don’t want r/conservative or whatever other the_donald-like hellholes Reddit still has, polluting Lemmy.
There is also the problem with “gone wild” style subs, where the users posts their own explicit pictures, but that doesn’t mean they want those pictures reposted elsewhere without their control.
Damn, big update! I see a lot of people are contributing, that’s really the biggest gift from Reddit’s poor decisions (well, presuming contributions did increase, which is a fair assumption).
That’s why I love open source software, it’s truly a community effort!
