TIL wanting to follow a link to the website of a game that someone posted a screenshot of encourages illegal activity. Here I thought I was just using the Internet. Pixelfed should not allow text, comments or engagement at all in that case. It could lead to gamification. How dare people enjoy things differently than you want them to?
Because it encourages gamification, advertising, malware, and illegal content.
If you want links, use the link sharing forums.

No, it’s advertising.
I don’t want it for me. It doesn’t have it.
You want it for you, you have other options.
