8 months agoPeople 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.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
That’s not really friction, and 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?
According to your logic, crosspost links always display, so by crossposting from ML you’re driving traffic there. Right? It’s right in your post, you even said so!
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?
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.
Just posting so that people with apps which don’t properly display cross posts know that there’s other places where conversation may be happening!
This post has been seen at least three times on Lemmy so far (including this post):
Then don’t worry, I won’t post links to transphobic content when I link the ML crossposts in the future, since you don’t :)
