Okay, so if I build a community and someone decides to build the same community on another instance, if they post stuff to both communities, there’s a chance my stuff will be treated as the copycat and I lose traffic despite having built a massive community? It just seems like you’re punishing me rather than the spammer.
I dont think it would count as you losing traffic, I would assume such a method would be done client side, and in such a case both communities would gain traffic
