i don like them links. like - tell me what’s in the link, don’t just “rule” and put a link.

i believe that this is not a very lemmy thing to do. especially on mobile, where it leaves the app and opens some shiddy proprietary other social media platform in your browser.

EDIT: completely forgot to add picture. now it’s here!

    Links are what make the web amazing. I guess I’m turning into a curmudgeon because I liked the internet better when it was more than 5 sites. I like blogs and weird art sites and homepages. I hate “install this app” and “sign up to view this”.

    I like that my browser can have plugins to block ads or translate stuff in other languages or replace “billionaire” with “oligarch”.

    A link without context sucks though. Don’t just say “rule”.

      I just am a little nervous accepting rides from strangers as the journey may be long and dangerous, or worse, slap me in the face with a pop up asking for my email to continue reading the article I was barely invested in to start.
