Ultimately the #fediverse needs to solve the problem of maintaining context in postings. I’m not sure what the real solution is, but I think #lemmy in particular needs work doing on the #activitypub side of things.
This doesn’t need a software solution. One of the reasons why I like link aggregators (which lemmy is) is because posters can de editorialize post titles, removing clickbait.
Instead of “Linus SLAMS psycho for DARING to suggest C++ in the kernel” the title can be replaced with “Linus explains why C++ is not suitable for the Linux kernel” when they post it.
But people don’t really do this, and people get mad at people who do this sometimes.
Of course, then people can inject bias in their titles. But I would rather not have clickbait.
