Alright, so a mbin instance has taken two of my posts (that I wrote here on my profile) and included them in a topic as if I had posted them there myself. It doesn't look like a share or a repost, it looks like I went there and I wrote it there. (see screenshot)
Except that I had no idea it had happened, I couldn't even tell which instance had done it before someone found it for me.
Apparently, the posts were extracted from a hashtag feed.
I figured out because I started to get tons of replies (not always very nice) from accounts that looked like Reddit accounts. You know "TerribleYusRname96" style with no profile pictures. Most being Lemmy accounts.
Does anyone know about that? And especially how to prevent it from happening, because I find the process quite misleading and disingenuous. At least, show that it's a post from somewhere else and notify the author.
