In the specific case in Xitter, I perceive that as a good change. I like seeing what was linked to, without otherwise getting engaged there.
- masklinn 3y agoUsing nitter is the part which avoids engagement-ing with xitter. Not having any context is the part which makes links to xitter useless, most of the time you get a link to a reply but without context it’s difficult to impossible to understand what it’s about, and the link is functionally useless.
- rvbissell 3y agoI know this doesn't help you in the particular circumstances you mentioned, but: for that I would place the blame on the person who provided the link, for not giving sufficient context to understand.
- masklinn 3y ago> for that I would place the blame on the person who provided the link, for not giving sufficient context to understand. I would not. First, I would assume logged users do get context so they likely are not even aware of the issue, and second that is what link for, if you have a to quote everything you're linking to in full then the web is broken. xitter is what's broken.
