    Can you please not link directly to xcancel for the post image itself? It gets stuck in anti-bot hell…

      I never had problems with xcancels bot protection, so I thought it wouldn’t be an issue.

      The link is updated now to x.com .

        It would be better to rehost the image on your instance and put a link to the source in the body – your other posts where you do that are great!

        xcancel blocks loading the image preview (a bunch of fediverse servers trying to load it probably looks like a DDOS to them) and x.com just… sucks, of course.

          I can’t agree more :D

          If it would have been just an image, I would have done so (I have a scraper for this). But the meme is a video (or audio with one image-frame) and I couldn’t find a direct link to the file, so I linked the post.
