Comment on Reddit Reposting

I dunno.
On one hand, fuck reddit.
On another, if a given poster is also mildly annoyed at the subject matter enough to repost, then isn’t it still their post here?
Or, on the third hand, if scrollers are popping in to talk, doesn’t it serve the same purpose as a legit original post?
I would, however, on the fourth hand like to see it explicitly stated that just linking to reddit ain’t cool. Because it ain’t. Copy paste the post so nobody has to go there to enjoy it here.
On the fifth hand, I suggest speaking to a geneticist because having five hands for a human is plain strange.

I firmly agree with everything you said there, and I want to add that if the main reasoning for wanting to remove the rule is “fuck Reddit” , then that means that this concept itself is a picture example of a mildly infuriating post.
And by that I mean, It’s mildly infuriating when someone just blanket decides that because they hate something, that everything about that thing is bad and nobody else should be able to see it. It’s almost never a black and white concept.
