I haven't had this problem. Are people pasting links to someone else's post into their post or is this from boosts? Is it quotes? I don't think Mastodon has quote posts, but Firefish and potentially other Misskey variants do. Do you have an example? I primarily use Firefish instead of Mastodon so I am admittedly not the most experienced Mastodon user, but even when I scroll through my Mastodon account, posts and boosts open in my own server when I click them and I can star or bookmark or boost them myself from that page.

I am curious about what's happening exactly so I can understand it better, I hope my questions don't come off as hostile.

Sweet and savory clash horribly. I will never understand why anybody wants to put syrup in or on their meat. Syrup is great on pancakes, but leave it off the bacon, sausage, and now apparently burgers.

There is a great Practical Engineering video that explains this risk for anyone who is curious.

Crossing that dam was definitely a bad move.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's ethical. Lots of reprehensible things have been legal at different times including the present.

It was really disappointing and cringy. I thought the show came out after the Thailand cave incident where he said people who were helping rescue trapped children were only in the country because they were pedophiles, but I just looked up the dates and the first season of Discovery came out a year before that incident. I waited a while to get Paramount+ because I didn't want yet another streaming service on top of Netflix and Hulu.

The Musk references aged very quickly. It's not great to name off living people as future historic figures when they are still alive and able to wreck their legacies.
