Hmm, I see you’ve linked to an image and included the citation as text. While a lot of people may like that format, and in a way it seems like the best of both worlds, I automatically downvote it because on my home page it looks like an image submission, which is a poor source.

I could start clicking the expando next to the title to check if a source was provided, but images are going to start getting auto-blocked in the next lemmy update anyway, so this format is not good.

Images are going to get auto blocked?

Naw, this has been wafted around as a potential new feature allowing users to autoblock images for a while now. The funny part is that even if it does come to be, who cares? If people don’t want pictures, whatever, it is not going to stop pictures being used and there is not really much concern if someone breaks their own use of lemmy (hell it is looking like people are going to dunk on those users).

Over on Mastodon we block all images by default and it’s SUPER nice. We click the picture to see it, it’s no big deal.
