        It has to do with the proxying URLs on images [A rare instance related issue]

        On the clients that were mentioned:

        Here’s Thunder

        Here’s the dbzer0 web interface

        All with proper crossposting menus, anything else you’d like to misrepresent or lie about?

          It’s like that’s almost exactly what I mentioned you said, and exactly why I’m commenting proper links to older posts! It fixes the proxying issue you mention to include it in the post, so I’m happy I can be of assistance. I’m still not sure why it’s so upsetting to you when users link back to other posts in the comments, especially when you weren’t the first one to post it. It helps drive conversation when people know it’s happening elsewhere.

            Not sure why you’d want to forward traffic to an instance who has admins that are transphobic and push Russian propaganda but you do you, I can’t stop you :)

              I’m not doing it to forward traffic to a single place, nor am I the one crossposting ML content. You claim that crossposting linking always works, so weren’t you the first one to link to ML, by your own logic?

                    They display, in a separate submenu, increasing friction. It’s well known in human behavior/UI design that every additional click for the average user reduces the likelihood they’re just going to click it for no reason
