Granted, keeping your apps up to date is important, and this new system will help get that across to users. But we’re not sure annoying the hell out of the user about it is the best strategy.

    Not clicking that sketchy link.

    You’ve never heard of a Creative Commons license?

    It’s not ‘sketchy’ at all.

    Also it makes no sense to quote an entire message like that.

    Actually you can just highlight the comment you’re replying to before hitting the reply button, and the Lemmy web client will copy it down for you quoted.

    I started doing that when I found out people were going back and changing the reply to me after I successfully countered it, to make my reply look incorrect or off-subject.

    Basically, documenting the conversation at that moment of time, so my reply is not misrepresented later on.
