Why is it frowned upon here to 'steal' content from reddit? (lemmy.ml)

If anything, shouldn't it be encouraged, and even automated? I'm including even the 'old' stuff from reddit here. Reddit shouldn't be the absolute owner of the content submitted by users. When I migrated here, it wasn't because of me being against reddit users, but being against reddit the company. Copying the content here actually hurts the company in sense that they don't get to then gatekeep the crowdsourced content.

If all this place is is a dumping ground for Reddit content then you may as well go right to the source.

    The source got rid of 3rd party apps, which is why I'm here. So no, I don't go right to that source anymore because their official app is flaming garbage. I appreciate their content however, so I'm grateful for anyone that brings it here so I can scroll through it on my phone using Sync still.
