The link worked (on Jerboa) for me, mate. Not sure why they caught hell here. Maybe folk didn't bother to actually click through? Idk.

I bet if one makes a post specifically for Valente's piece it will climb fast. I figured most of lemmy had already seen it, then it quickly got upvoted and commented. -shrugs-

edit: Wow, was I wrong or what?

Much like on Reddit, standard practice is skimming the headline, looking at the thumbnail and then voting and occasionally commenting. A rare percentage of the time something looks interesting enough to earn a click through.

I wish I could say I was above such behaviour but I have certainly been guilty of it myself.

This is true. As have I.

No comments for me. But I'm using pre-release version of Thunder. Dunno what's up. The website shows them.
