The WTF are you calling me obstinate then?
No, that's exactly the point. You even agreed, responding to me as well as responding to others, that's not working as what most would consider as normal, with a preference on what a more normal response to clicking on the link should be.
I've contributed to open source projects before, so I've already done my bit for "King and Country". I'm recently retired. But since you care so much about it, I'm sure you can contribute.
You should take a step back and realize I'm not attacking Lemmy, I use it, and I support it. I am just calling out a design and implementation point that needs refinement, as like you mentioned, is what's done in early open source projects.
Who said I can program?
EDIT: If I could do the work to make it work better I would.
EDIT:
obstinate
adjective
ob·sti·nate ˈäb-stə-nət : stubbornly adhering to an opinion, purpose, or course in spite of reason, arguments, or persuasion
Wow, so you bypass everything I said just to come back with a five worded single sentence that avoids the overall context of what I said.
Why are we arguing, why are you attacking me? It doesn't help gatekeeping, it preventing input to improve a product.
I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your words.
And the reason I said you were obstinate were because you were. You refused to accept that it works since it doesn't do it in the way you want it to. And now you're rage-downvoting. You should probably take a few minutes off.
EDIT: No, you didn't state that it didn't work after seven minutes and multiple routs of attempting to get the link to resolve. I see that you have edited that in later, in one of the later comments. It worked on the reload for me. And no, it's not preventing input to improve a product, it's asking you to be less absolutist in your comments. "It doesn't work as well as it should" compared to your "it doesn't work". When it obviously does work, albeit could work better.
Edit: No ;P
I stated in my origional comment (link, or see below) that it didn't work for me. After having read one of your comments about refreshing, I went back and added (and stated in the edit that I forgot to mention the steps / how many times I tried) for others who would read later more detail about it. I clarified on how many times I tried, and did not add something new from scratch to make a point.
You're being intellectually dishonest.
What I added in...
You're not being intellectually honest.
I specifically stated that it didn't work after seven minutes and multiple routes of attempting to get the link to resolve. It never worked, it never resolved.
Can you please stop editing your previous comments to add a new point that can be responded to, and reply instead?
To your point that I quoted above, which is your second edit, they didn't work for me, at all.
I'm not going to say it doesn't work well when it doesn't work at all, I'm going to say it doesn't work at all.
Seven plus attempts is more than enough for any human being to try to get a link to work, and honestly, links are supposed to work on the first try, or or maybe even the second try if the server is being slammed.
