People who have already seen something know they’ve seen it. They can just skip it. To somebody else it will be new. The vast majority of items being called reposts on reddit were things I had never seen. Whining about reposts might give someone a false sense of accomplishment, but I found it to be useless noise.
That’s not a terrible idea - it would be a link to the existing discussion of the topic, which is informative. I like that better than people just whining RePoSt!!1!

reposts should still probably be labelled as such and link back to older posts
