That’s the beauty of Lenny, we can change the “Standard Fare”. I would much rather a post title that completely conveys the idea at hand rather than the confusing/ flat out wrong/or clickbait titles we get from “news” sites. The only thing that should be mandatory is a link to the article where you found the information.
I agree, /r/news started that policy because users would sensationalize the articles further and they didn’t have enough mods to monitor if every submission was being taken out of context.
Lemmy doesn’t have the same growth incentives as reddit so hopefully we can make things better here.
Standard sure, but with headlines most often being clickbait do we really need to keep doing that?
I’ll argue one step further even. This one here could have been a simple post conveying all the information as one scrolls by. No article or click required.
Yes please! Fuck’s sake, I hate naked links so much. If I just want to head articles I can do so without being on lemmy - I’m here to see at least a little gods-damned discussion, but people just post these naked links with no comment or anything to get a discussion rolling.
If you think a link is interesting enough to post, surely you can say something about it, damnit!
Its pretty standard fare that if you post an article, you use its headline as the post headline
