One thing I dislike about Lemmy so far is the amount of highly suspicious links no one has ever heard of, that are constantly being shared. Makes me as a user really paranoid to touch any links before examining the url closely, which is good practice I guess, but makes the whole content browsing process a bit stressful.
It seems like a handful of links are trying to be “open source” in terms of YouTube playbacks getting redirected or other means of copying other websites. That being said, it is getting sketchy when I’m unfamiliar with all of them.
i like this aspect of lemmy, because it lets me get to know new independent websites and blogs :-)
after all, the internet should be closer to the people and more far from the big platforms

Ideally, all links should point to the original source, with bots or client-side code changing them for those who are interested.
