I don’t think I understand you. Why don’t you click on the link to access it? As the link reveals, it is from ScienceDaily, so there is also a summary.

It’s worth knowing your audience.

As I write this there are 19 upvotes and ours are the only comments, which is off topic. If you want to react a broader audience you have to entice them. You have a lead in a title and link but no follow up, no insight, and with that very limited engagement about a great topic. Give a paragraph, or copy their lead paragraph. Write a reaction. A little bit of work on your part will generate a lot more interest of lemmy’s, many of who will just scroll on by without clicking without a bit more reason to dive in.

I find it quite impressive that you feel entitled to dictate to me how you want me to post. You are free to post the way you want when you start doing so.

Edit:
blueworld@piefed.world I am not proud of my reaction to your comment, which really hit a nerve as you very well understood. For me, the problem with what you suggested is basically the tone you used. So I thought of using a different tone myself and more words.
If you look into my post history, you will notice that sometimes I add stuff in the body section sometimes I don’t, for a variety of reasons. For example, when I consider the article to be short, usually I don’t add anything. Apart from that I am interested in the people who are willing to to read the article, and what I add is for them (archive link, the study that inspired the article, etc). I really don’t care for those who are too bored to make a click to check it out.
All these said, I believe there is room for different approaches, and I consider this to be beautiful.

The strikethrough. Too petty of me.
