    Sometimes this website confuses me as completely as a website can. What could one possibly find objectionable about the link to the source of an image if the source image isn’t objectionable? Posting a link to a source nearly always draws a downvote and I can’t figure out why.

      No downvotes visible on Kbin yet, but it might be some vatnik who’s pissy about the original image.

        See, that’s what got to me. The post itself is +35/-0 on lemmy. They had to have gone into the comments before deciding to downvote the source of an image rather than the image. If both were -1, I’d get it, but… the link in the comments is objectionable and nothing else?

        Linked sources on lemmy always seem to be downvoted at least once and it’s just weirdly consistent. What, is it the fact that the link goes off-site? I’m not frustrated by the downvote, I’m frustrated by the confusion.
