I’ll be honest, I don’t even know what you’re asking. Discord owns all data on Discord. Server “owners” do not own anything from a data security standpoint. If you are asking a question in good faith, please rephrase it into smaller sentences. If you are arguing in bad faith, I have no desire to continue this thread.

I’m sorry, but it’s probably in your best interest to do some research and actually read the discord Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before arguing about something you lack knowledge in. Creators of a Discord server are not responsible for members’ data that they send to Discord. That relationship is between Discord and the Member, not the creator of a server. Any “contractual agreement” you are talking about is covered when you click “I agree” when creating an account, the devs’ accounts included.

This is a ridiculous argument that has a correct answer that Discord themselves will tell you.

I’m okay with that, hence why I want it as an option I can opt-in to. If it’s the same person posting the same post and title to two different communities, I’d rather just see the one for my main instance and miss the conversation on the other, rather than seeing my feed cluttered with duplicates. I’m not unsubscribing to the other one, I won’t miss content unique to it.

Do you have any suggestions for a better one? I’m all ears, but the solution definitely isn’t “hey guys stop crossposting”. Any other solution would require structural refactoring of Lemmy, and changes like that are not easy. I saw a post talking about combining sibling communities, but that would get very messy very fast. This solution is pretty elegant imo. Just a checkbox that says “I prefer posts from my main instance, hide any crossposts” would be perfect. No one has to subscribe to sibling communities either; if you’re fine sticking to one, then the issue doesn’t apply.

I wish apps would hide duplicate posts. People that crosspost everything results in my feed having double everything because I subscribe to both. It’s super annoying, and I’m tempted to leave one of them, but I don’t want to miss anything because they’re comparable in size.

Yeah for real. Can we all grow up and move on from that please?

Oh shit, perfect! How did I miss this? Thanks much!

As soon as I remembered this was Ubisoft, I had zero interest. I’m sure I’m not the only one with this perspective either, so yeah, probably gonna be DOA.

So you just wanted to be negative, got it.

Why did you feel the need to comment this? Did you think you would change people’s minds who are already fans, or did you just want to be negative?
