I don’t know if we would be reposting really old posts or not so I’m not sure if that would be an issue. I think the opt out system is a good idea. At least it gives the creator a chance to decline the repost. Especially if we give them a decently long enough timeline to respond.
I wonder how this would all be enforced. Would you need to screenshot your PM to the OP?
I feel like memes are made and meant to be shared hence the name. I feel a hobby drama post is more like a blog post to a community they are a member of. They are sharing it with members of that community and not intentionally sharing it with other communities. I also think asking for permission seems like a good middle ground between reposting all hobby drama posts from Reddit and banning all reposts.
100% agree with this. We should have the courtesy to ask the author for permission before spreading their work. They should be aware it was posted here in case they would like to respond to comments or if they need to make edits.
That’s exactly what Reddit used to do.
Took me a while to figure this out too. I’m using the Memmy app.
