It shouldn't matter that I'm linking to other posts, though, especially for those using screen readers that otherwise have no idea!

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. 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.

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 :)

Guessing you missed the fact that there were other links in there, and I only linked to ML because you got the crosspost from there originally. Nice use of transphobia as a tool against a trans person, though!
