To me it's reading from different perspectives and other's writing style. It's really important when it comes to political stuff or anything else that you need to base a decision on.
But I think it applies even just to plain articles about a niche you follow.
Like, maybe some new GPU features get released for Linux or something. Gamingonlinux might cover it from a Gaming perspective whereas Phoronix might focus more on the hardware aspect of things and the original blog post or changelog or whatever might just give a mostly a list of changes and a description.
Post one article from a trusted source like Reuters or AP News. If you want to link other articles, post links to them underneath the main post, either in the post text or in a comment. No need to flood feeds with recycled articles.

Yes.
But only when i see them stacked next to each other in my feed.
I usually go some hours between posts of similar articles, to try to break them up. They might stack if you're viewing a comm directly if it isn't that busy of one, but they shouldn't on your main feeds

You seem to think every article and comment is junk, my serial downvoting friend
Let's see... From you? Yes. I see one post in my feed and know I'll see it 3-4 more times, Then a few hours later I see similar garbage from yet another account. Nobody needs or wants that.

It's funny how you deleted that comment that was telling returntoozma he also posts "junk" just before this one lmao

Funny that you need 50 accounts for any reason other than block evasion. But those upvotes are so incredibly important...

My reasoning is as follows: Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of posting it makes smaller instances more recognizable, making comms on fitting smaller instances, protecting against the imposter problem and better interconnecting smaller instances
Besides, if I really wanted to do block evasion, it would be far more efficient to use random names. Each account would last far longer before becoming "recognized"
Also, unlike corpo social media, likes and upvotes are worthless here.

Claims to promote smaller instances, only posts to the same communities on the largest servers...
Whatever you say bud. You keep quadruple posting junk from 50 different accounts and telling yourself that votes don't matter to you.

I would love if more people would post news from a source with which they agree AND one with which they disagree.

I tried telling OP that they weren't promoting small instances simply by using them to post to other instances because most Lemmy users are already on their chosen instance to begin with just yesterday. I also told them that they were just making it more difficult for users to curate feeds since OP makes it next to impossible to block. OP didn't care.

Oops, must've missed those in the midst of all the quadruple-posted junk. Or maybe it was the wrong alias...

Kind of hard to block you when most people do so and then assume the problem is fixed, not realizing that you have all of these accounts.

Dingding! Absolutely correct!

You don't need to use your dozens of accounts to do that. Even if you create communities on these instances with those dozens of accounts, you can still opt to use a single account to actually contribute instead of looking like a spam network. Why not do that? And no, it's not "promoting" a small instance to make posts to other instances with them. I again would argue that most Lemmy users don't pay attention to which instance an OP is signed up to.

It's Boost on Android.

Not sure if yours are the ones I see or not as I don't really check names of posters too often, but it does come up at times.

I several times see multiple posts on different communities I follow with the same exact article. It's exhausting.
