For the love of God, why Link to an image on a solar Punk server instead of the article?
Why not link to the article instead of raging in the comments about it? Sometimes people want to talk about articles, sometimes they want to talk about pictures. Sometimes people want to derail any relevant conversation to complain about nothing -- but I hope this is not one of those threads.
That's so disingenuous. Who talks about a boring-ass picture of a news article instead of the article?
And sometimes people want to derail any relevant conversation to complain about nothing. Post the article if you're so upset about it.
Sometimes people make up bullshit accusations instead of owning up to the fact that their post is shit and pretend the onus is on the commenters to bring in the content themselves.
Jesus Christ. This is a molehill. A speck in the federated universe. It's a whatever post that could be made better by linking the article. Hit me with a downvote and get pissed about something that matters.
You seem more upset about it than me, bruv. I'm only pointing out your bullshit accusations and your shit post, and that somehow means I'm raging. Here's your downvote. Do better.
I think you think I'm the other guy lol
You sounded like him
You are bringing content right now. And your content is hostile, off-topic, and terrible.
Yo, kettle! 😂
So let's sum this up. You post some bullshit pretending it's gold, accuse others when they disagree, then attack & insult, and double down.
Hostile, off-topic, and terrible indeed.
I am not raging, but exasperated.
There's a lot of good reasons to be exasperated, and you have a limited pool of emotional energy.
I have an account on a Solarpunk server. Most images are found on servers that don't support off-site linking, or aren't under the control of trusted people in the Fediverse. If I upload an image to post on any community, that post is native to my server because that's where my account is. So although the post is shared with all the servers that federate with the LM community, the image is hosted on my server. This is the way the Fediverse normally works. I've never before seen people become exasperated about federated accounts posting to a federated community on federated social media.
It is confusing to me why so many people are angry about a 'missing article' when it isn't much work to search for an article to discuss and post it in the comments. Several people have posted article links as comments, which have so far resulted in zero article discussion. I think whatever people are angry or exasperated about, it doesn't have anything to do with me; I'm just a convenient target: I shared a picture, and the picture title sounded like it belonged to an article.
I post a lot of articles, pictures, and memes, and I do it because if I don't, they don't get posted. Despite doing this without getting paid, I occasionally get feedback that assumes a much higher standard of professionalism than 'free.' When you attack people for participating in ways that don't meet your unrealistic standards, you not only make the people you attack lives less pleasant, but you also discourage other people from participating. In a participatory platform, your behavior is a form of cancer.
Just because I post articles doesn't make me different from you - we are both creator-consumers here. I would like very much to have a more diverse group of people sharing stories, memes, and pictures. I notice you've been here a year, and haven't made any posts yet. Consider giving it a try. You do open yourself up to more negative feedback, but you'll understand better what realistic expectations for people who post here actually look like. It will be easier for you to understand the motivations and actions of others here.
