To me it’s reading from different perspectives and other’s writing style. It’s really important when it comes to political stuff or anything else that you need to base a decision on.

But I think it applies even just to plain articles about a niche you follow.

Like, maybe some new GPU features get released for Linux or something. Gamingonlinux might cover it from a Gaming perspective whereas Phoronix might focus more on the hardware aspect of things and the original blog post or changelog or whatever might just give a mostly a list of changes and a description.

    Let’s see… From you? Yes. I see one post in my feed and know I’ll see it 3-4 more times, Then a few hours later I see similar garbage from yet another account. Nobody needs or wants that.

        Funny that you need 50 accounts for any reason other than block evasion. But those upvotes are so incredibly important…

          I tried telling OP that they weren’t promoting small instances simply by using them to post to other instances because most Lemmy users are already on their chosen instance to begin with just yesterday. I also told them that they were just making it more difficult for users to curate feeds since OP makes it next to impossible to block. OP didn’t care.

          My reasoning is as follows: Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of posting it makes smaller instances more recognizable, making comms on fitting smaller instances, protecting against the imposter problem and better interconnecting smaller instances

          Besides, if I really wanted to do block evasion, it would be far more efficient to use random names. Each account would last far longer before becoming “recognized”

          Also, unlike corpo social media, likes and upvotes are worthless here.
