    I’m staunchly against posting archive links directly. The canonical URL next to the headline at least lets you know where it came from. Archive links obfuscate the source and let a trash tabloid headline carry the same weight as one from a reputable source.

    That’s especially important since, as you said, people just want to read the headline and react.

      That’s also fair, because I think Lemmy has a massive sourcing problem in general.

      People straight up post propaganda. I get that every news source is biased but when the url is like therealtruth.xyz, it starts to get increasingly suspect.
