    *repost this one

    I had seen this many-a-time on Reddit (it’s a site that’s like Lemmy but shittier)

      Your correction doesn’t make sense, there’s no repost button.

      meme of a confused grandma saying you really didn't have to hit repost this one

      But yeah, I’ve seen this on Reddit few years ago.

        I’m in not trying to shit on you, OP! I was just saying I’ve seen this showerthought a bunch before.

        Also your first sentence makes ZERO sense, as 99.999% of reposts are posted without the use of a dedicated repost button? Like is a “repost” button a button anyone has ever seen?

        Quick edit: oh I totally see what you mean, my comment intended to transform “hit post on” into just “repost” hahaha

          Now I want a cynical dev to make a Lemmy app that labels the post button as the repost button. Might as well assume all content is unoriginal, right?

            Yeeeeh basically everything on the internet is unoriginal now. Even the comment I’m current making.

            R9K was a cool experiment, until… well… the /b/. Which was like… the all of it.
