five consecutive posts in a single community is a bit much for what is essentially the same story. why not put them all in the body of a single post where they could be discussed together?

Just because it's not against the rules doesn't mean it's not a shitty thing to do. One post per event per community, and crossposting that post to others is usually preferred.

Dude, it's the same fucking story. And because it's different URLs, they don't even collapse into a single feed entry on piefed.

For the sake of everyone who isn't already blocking you for spam, be more considerate. Literally no-one wants to read the same story on CNN, ibtimes and businessinsider. You yourself know that you're not posting it 6 times because it's important to get those different versions of the same thing; you're doing it because you want to maximise the chance of someone seeing something you want them to see, without playing by the normal rules of voting.

When I see this, I downvote them all, and then block the spammer.

Sounds like a piefed problem to me

Have you considered the possibility that the fact that all of these news sources are reporting the same thing is important in itself?

What are the normal rules of voting?

You'll be missed, I'm sure

Why the down votes for this?

Oooh. This is the guy that spammed multiple channels with multiple links for basically the same story. Maybe people are downvoting for that / the username

What's wrong with my username?

porcoesphino@mander.xyz · 1 pts · 269d

I meant that maybe they remembered your username from those posts. Your username itself seems pretty normal for Lemmy

Oooh. I didn't notice the downvotes here are 1/3 of the upvotes, about the same ratio as the original post

Yeah, a lot of people really don't like this kind of news, especially when someone as prescient as this bets against the thing propping up the modern American economy.

We should make sure that this sort of manupulative behavior (trying to artifically boost visibility, albeit in a laughably amateurish manner in this case) is not welcome here.

You should clarify what's manipulative about posting multiple articles from multiple sources on the same topic
