No need for your copypasta, I’ll continue to provide links to crossposted discussions since you can’t seem to do it for others.

And I’ll do the same since you seem to have a habit of misrepresentation and lying by omission

I’m not the one omitting links to the original poster

Looks fine to me

You were exploitly told the apps where users weren’t seeing it before and chalked it up to an “image linking issue”, so I’m just helping other users avoid that in the future!

No I wasn’t lmao tell me the front end or app that doesn’t show the crosspost menu, should be easy since you’re so sure

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.

That’s great! Then you should be able to just keep it to the rare image-only post that it actually happens on and not articles

Nope, just in case of proxying issues or crosspost linking issues due to broken federation, I’ll keep it to all posts

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

Using transphobia as a tool in an argument with a trans person sure is classy!

Yes, how horrible of me to warn you of someone who is transphobic.

Well this is what Nutomic, second head Lemmy dev and .ml admin has to say about the LGBTQ+ movement [Transphobia CW] https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

You didn’t intend to warn me, you basically said I was supporting it by posting a link in the comments (which I wouldn’t have had to do if you didn’t just immediately crosspost form ML).

I don’t care what transphobes have to say, I’ve heard it all before, nice of you to link transphobic content to me. At least I don’t crosspost content from the land of transphobes, though! You enjoying having your feed be filled with ML content even though you claim to boycott them?

Taking content from them, doesn’t support their instance in any way. Upvoting, commenting and posting on comms on their instance does. Which I don’t do and by cross-posting content away onto non.ml comms it reduces their activity bit by bit but revitalizing other similar comms

According to your logic, crosspost links always display, so by crossposting from ML, you’re driving traffic there and reducing friction. Right? It’s right in your post, you even said so!

In fact, on the standard Lemmy UI, it’s not in a submenu at all…it’s just straight up linked under the post title. No extra click required. So what’s the difference?

Well sure, it’s not foolproof, but the vast majority of users are probably not using the default Lemmy UI (because it kinda sucks lol) and instead are using an app or other front end.

People should know that you’re crossposting from transphobic instances, in my opinion, so I’ll continue letting people know, especially for those using screen readers. Also, I use the default Lemmy UI almost daily.

Don’t worry, I don’t crosspost anything that’s transphobic or propaganda or that weird…spam post that shows up from time to time…

It’s a big reason why I can’t bot it lmao
