IMO The Best Thing about the Fediverse is... (lemmy.world)

The thing I like most about the fediverse, unlike reddit, is that people are genuinely posting things they care about or like, rather than posting to be a karma whore. I can't tell you how many times I've posted in reddit and it instantly gets stolen and used in another sub simply to get easy karma. It's refreshing to not have that here. That's all. Thanks!

gosh it isn't "narcissist" to not "check the latest couple dozen posts". I guess you are a person who sits all day and all night at a computer ya?

Especially with the weird sorting on the fediverse you could miss it even if you read 25 posts. But do I read >24 posts every time I post 1? No.

If the URL is identical the software should let the user know when posting. It happened to me on reddit before. it would let you post it but you had to confirm. Usually I'd just kill it at that point.

"I just discovered this thing, and since it's new to me I immediately conclude that no one else has seen it either because the horizon of my reality extends no farther than the diameter of my own head"...is absolutely narcissist.

The opposite of narcissism is considering that other people exist, and that other people might have found it and posted it first, and to assume they have until you do some minimum amount of diligence to find out. That minimum amount of diligence is just checking for recent posts on the same topic - it's not rocket science - it's just having the basic minimum amount of social-awareness to consider there are other people in that community who may have already posted it.
