CP doesn’t mean CopyPasting OP…
I think they know this, and were aiming to exploit that initialism by associating its negative connotations with the totally unrelated thing that they don’t like.
I wonder if that was intentional since OP hates copy pasting enough to equate with…something else that’s very distasteful online.
What you’re complaining about is the same image being rehosted multiple times…
That’s not necessarily reposting, and probably make up a minority or reposts
I’m not positive, but I think OP is possibly extremely poorly communicating their position.
I think @AllegraGory@sh.itjust.works means:
“If a creator of original content posts their content online, subsequent posters shouldn’t capture/crop/alter that work then upload it elsewhere robbing the original content creator of attribution or the monetary gains they might received from hosting it on their original site. Instead, what subsequent posters should do is link to the original content at the original URL leaving the creator in full control of the hosting and perhaps any revenue they would receive from their work”
I’m not taking a position either way on this with my post merely translating what I think OP is actually trying to say. OP, please correct me if I’m wrong.
Hey, lemme ask you something. If somebody uploads something, and you upload, like, the exact same file somewhere else, without linking to the original designated artists url, what do you call that?
Decentralization
Wrong!
It’s theft. You are stealing from artists. You take their work without consent and use it for your own benefit.
It’s theft. You are stealing from artists.
No, duplication is not theft. Not in the dictionary sense. Not in the legal sense. Not in any sense at all.
It might be copyright infringement, inappropriate, and/or rude, depending on the particulars and the jurisdiction. But your claim that it is theft demonstrates that you either have no idea what you’re talking about, or you are deliberately misleading people.
Please stop.
With views like that you probably support AI too.

Or I probably smell bad. Or I am probably a monster. Or I probably do whatever else you can imagine that might sway community opinion against me for contradicting you.
Once again, you are wrong. In both senses of the word.
I suggest learning what words mean before you go round using them in public, especially in accusations. It might help you to avoid embarrassing yourself. And, if arguing with people is what makes you happy, consider learning to avoid informal fallacies while you’re at it.
and you upload, like, the exact same file somewhere else,
Rehosting, which is what I just said…
What you’re complaining about is the same image being rehosted multiple times…
I don’t know if repeating it will get us to a different result tho
Coincidence?
Don’t get chesty with me just because you’ve got a problem with your station in life!
Yes, sir/ma’am. Sorry, sir/ma’am. Won’t happen again, sir/ma’am.
(?)
You’re welcome, thank you.
I mean… I get what you’re getting at with literally copied content, but… come on, this framing of the issue is strictly ridiculous in the most literal sense…
You lost me at ‘Fuck’. As a potential new member, how could I be willing to engage in a community putting forward rudeness?
I would suggest you may want to consider to calmly explain the issue at hand (my Lemmy feed is tightly curated and I do not think I noticed much of what you mention), without insulting anyone and without using doubtful dirty tricks to grab people’s attention, maybe sharing some real world examples?
