I’ll leave that to the reddit moderators and community to decide. There are thresholds in place to ensure they have time to filter out illegal material before it gets crossposted.
And again, so far no original poster has reported any posts on these bases. But I have no qualms with taking it down if they do.
It’s noble of you to want to protect those people, but the moment they post content to reddit, they have given reddit the right to duplicate and redistribute their content as it sees fit. So the way I see it, that ship has sailed, and I’m pretty sure most creators are aware of this.
Having said that, if someone ever reports they want to take their content offline, I’ll gladly do so. So far, that hasn’t happened yet though.
Edited to add: the lemmit service doesn’t even copy most content, only relatively small (animated) images. On account of storage (and processing) larger files costs money. So most content is hotlinked. That means that when the original is removed from Reddit, it’s removed from lemmy as well.
I might have been inclined to agree with you, if the posts themselves didn’t include all the attribution and other data that is on the reddit posts themselves.
How do you feel this robs from content creators, rather than giving them more exposure? It’s not redistributing any content that’s behind a paywall, for example.
Not sure for which subreddit this is. But if the corresponding posts also get removed, this could be alleviated by increasing the delay/upvote threshold before something gets cross posted. I’m not in favour of implementing a imgur ban, especially not on a per-community basis. And I have no interest on writing (and paying for) an imgur-rehosting service.
It does not, since it’s not a bridge, but a one-way syndication.
