@mollyjongfast y’know, I didn’t fully understand this until moments ago. I think you’re right, but nothing would stop us from pasting a link to the thread in a post, so it’s kind of the same. Maybe this is an area that can be developed with some of the brilliant minds here!

@allen099 @mollyjongfast Posting a link will not embed the content of the post, so it makes it harder to turn it into a performative narrative.
@Alex @mollyjongfast certainly less enticing. But if I know Alex and he posts great stuff, I would likely put the effort into visiting that link after reading his own post. But I do agree with you.
