The multi-posts are because there are no metatags and often a post belongs under more than one topical category and maybe even in multiple "communities".

As a "link spammer" myself, I'd rather give away my karma for whatever it's worth (or cash it in) or get rid of it for everyone entirely - and to the point, I'd rather just post ONCE have a singular conversation, yet have that single post be shared/mirrored/metatagged under all the different subs that apply.

Why do I do it? For future research. SaidIt is not just a semi-disposable ephemeral news feed. There is serious archival/research here worth valuing.

Everything is ephemeral. Entropy is what powers nature itself. Entropy is the only thing preventing the universe from falling into disorder. If ephemrality didn't exist, the culmination of matter would lead to the end of the beginning and end of the end itself.

You'd agree that 4chan is hella better than reddit, wouldn't you? Well, 4chan works on the principle of entropy. When someone replies to a post, it gets a bump, and more bumps = your post gets a higher chance of rising up to the top of the board you're posting on. But after a while, your post ends up at the bottom of the board and cannot rise up to the top anymore unless mods unbumplock it. And it works. Sure, sometimes shit like [s4s] getting invaded currently by the users it was made to parody(i.e. the SRS tranny cucks), but mostly, it works.

Entropy is what powers everything.

Nothing is permanent, true.

I don't know 4chan nor Reddit enough to have a strong opinion other than they each have pros and cons.

I don't know what s4s or SRS are.

Some things are foundations, upon which new things may be forged.
