Yeah … I don’t like giving Reddit any more activity of any kind. If I see an image from there that I want to share, I’ll download it and reupload it to Lemmy. Reddit links are hideous and any time you directly go to an image link, it draws up a Reddit page to present the image, giving the site another complex hit that forces you to interact with their dumb site. These links are also specifically designed to just mess up any linking to any other service because it forces people to only see the content on the Reddit site and nowhere else.

To anyone reading this … if you see a Reddit image, gif or webm that you want to share … download it (or screenshot it) and reupload it and never bother linking the original Reddit link.
