It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

You've linked to a picture of a motocycle, not the article that the image was presumably from.
The article link is there, but you have to click on the title. The autopreview Lemmy makes is just a picture.
Edit: It looks like this is an actual bug with Mbin posting to Lemmy instances that happens sometimes. A report has been submitted to the dev.
Clicking on the title just opens a bigger picture than the one visible in the preview.
This is the URL that the title links to: https://fedia.io/media/bf/74/bf740f1fa0ab32bd7046f21371cf3c2c25827190a8031768aa58039fd766d42f.jpg
Note the ".jpg"
Hmm, the title links to https://www.topspeed.com/the-one-bike-culture-trend-thats-quietly-taking-over-cities/ for me on Mbin. Are you on an app or the .world website? Any custom UI in use?
As another data point, in the Thunder mobile app for Lemmy, there is no link in the post, just the thumbnail.
Same here. You're commenting from sh.itjust.works and I'm commenting from lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Whether this is due to our lemmy instances or our app I'm not too sure.
Another person said they were on the old.lemmy.world instance and Firefox with the same issue so it sounds like it isn't exclusive to apps. I think it might be a problem between Mbin and Lemmy. This might take a coordinated effort between the devs of both.
That sounds about right. Here's hoping it gets sorted soon.
I'm using old.lemmy.world & Firefox.
