Well sure, it’s not foolproof, but the vast majority of users are probably not using the default Lemmy UI (because it kinda sucks lol) and instead are using an app or other front end.

They display, in a separate submenu, increasing friction. It’s well known in human behavior/UI design that every additional click for the average user reduces the likelihood they’re just going to click it for no reason

Taking content from them, doesn’t support their instance in any way. Upvoting, commenting and posting on comms on their instance does. Which I don’t do and by cross-posting content away onto non.ml comms it reduces their activity bit by bit but revitalizing other similar comms

Nice of you to bring up transphobia in an argument against a trans person, though!

Well this is what Nutomic, second head Lemmy dev and .ml admin has to say about the LGBTQ+ movement [Transphobia CW] https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

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 :)

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?

There’s no such app or frontend, they all have the crosspost menu afaik, if you know of one, lmk even though you still haven’t. You just keep making that claim without actually answering lol

Already handled by the internal crosspost system

Don’t link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!

All of the above
