Near the end of my little ‘Euro comics’ rant, you may notice how I tried to slip in an offsite link, in this case from my instance, lemm.ee.

Now it looks like it… got blocked, maybe? See the before & after here.

Mateys-- Am I going crazy, or is this something we’re going to need to work around, in future?

EDIT: As stated below, re-editing the message (even with the very same link) cleared up the problem. Still, I could see Reddit trying to block content from the Fediverse, the more the FV grows.

    we did this to our selves. we tolerated the use of corporate-made chromium and now we pay the price. there are open source forks of firefox, but a new open source software is needed to ensure browser diversification. i am no expert of browsers but this is the word i hear around all the time.

      Browsers nowadays almost start to approach the complexity of an OS with sandboxed tabs, JavaScript engine and plugin engine. We should’ve never allowed google to get so much into our lives.

      Edit: forgot the HTML and CSS interpreters and then there’s how it all interacts, and there might still be parts that I’m not familiar with.
