Yes, I need to do that. Right now we tell users about duplicate links but don’t otherwise discourage it.
We also need to tell people when other users have posted the same story from different sources
Perhaps some automod could move the dups into a special category straight after it's posted. Doing that manually (like is the case of different sources) will for sure become difficult.

The one thing we are pretty firmly not going to explore is centralized moderation. We need to do better.
That said, we don’t know exactly how we’ll approach this yet.
Whoops wrong thread.
I think the move is to make the same link expensive to post shortly after another one.
Similar stories are harder but simply letting users know a similar story exists might deter them.
