You are telling people to break rule 4, which I find a reasonable one: "Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click"

It's a static HTML page with no JS. I think telling people that's unwelcome and that it's all-in on your platform or GTFO is what is poor taste. Maybe one day my blog will speak native ActivityPub if I bother setting up a non-static hosting for it.

I am not going to rewrite the whole post and have it maybe render poorly in your client due to handling inconsistencies and maybe be gone in 10 years due to platform changes just so you don't have to click. Just disable JS and image loading in your browser or read it with lynx or sth if you are concerned.

i don't blame them; until now all social media was under a centralized control that got to own the content and got do with it as they pleased as a a result. (eg reddit).

it's going to take a while to go back to sharing this content on social media like it used to be and that's assuming that it will ever go back at all.
