I don't like reposting content from Reddit unless it's suuuuuper good and relevant.
Especially if it's images with that shitty Reddit banner.
Like if the times are really slow, then a repost to keep the mood up is fine, but casually/regularly, I think that's meh.
Also, there are communities specialized in reposting/mirroring Reddit subs, so if that's what you want, just go there?
Is the philosophy in the Fediverse not to rely upon upvoting/downvoting to determine quality of content?
Just because something has been posted on Reddit doesn’t mean the bar for posting it here should be higher.
It's more about reposting in general, not just from Reddit specifically. But most communities here are literally clones or continuations of Reddit subs, so comparison to Reddit simply always pops up. Also that's what the question was.
