The "context" is in the headline. That tells you all that you should need to know to determine whether you want to read the article.

The fact that you seem to want someone to do that work for you and tell you what to think (divorcing whatever gets highlighted from its full context in the interview in the process) is frankly disappointing.

Getting mad at link aggregation software for aggregating links is a real choice.

    See I don't view this as link aggregation software. I view it as discourse software. I get annoyed because I can't filter it out like I would like to, so I end up clicking on things I otherwise would not. I don't appreciate it anymore than a friend shoving a magazine in my face rather than prefacing a bit with he found an interesting article and would I like to read it. No the headlines don't provide the context which is why would a real human want to read some article.

    Great. Read the interview, and if there's any aspect of it you feel you need to add thoughts to, go ahead and do it. And if you don't have anything to add, (a) that doesn't mean it's not worth sharing, and (b) you can just bypass the thread entirely.

    It's not on OPs to tell people what aspects of an article to talk about, and in many cases, I would argue that it's not appropriate to try.

    I don’t appreciate it anymore than a friend shoving a magazine in my face

    You can't possibly think that someone posting something online is analogous to approaching you and shoving something in your face. Please tell me you can tell the difference.

    yeah. as I have mentioned. I avoid commenting as much as I can with these things. if I can filter them out then I won't make the mistake of engaging when its more an advertisement than a person. The only reason I did here was I was annoyed at the OP's reaction to the comment I was then replying to. Oh but I certainly do feel like its just pushing things in your face. Its a trek community. you read an article. geek out about it. tell me why you liked it. why is it so good to share. etc.

    1. Lemmy is essentially the reddit clone in the fedivers. It is just as much a link aggregator as reddit ever was

    2. if you want to see changes in the software, be the change you want to see. Write the code or fund a dev to do it for you
