It's probably climate change. That earthquake was from climate change, so why not?

Yes lol. Do they hate that he's Jewish? Or that he's anti-Zionist? Or maybe they hate socialism? There's a lot for shitty people to hate about Sanders

Headline:

Arson is suspected...

Article:

Authorities say an unknown male suspect sprayed what they described as a possible accelerant on the office door, set it on fire and fled. They said the suspect remained at large and no motive had been established.

“A significant fire engulfed the door and part of the vestibule, impeding the egress of staff members who were working in the office and endangering their lives,” Burlington police said in a statement. “The sprinkler system then engaged and largely extinguished the fire.”

That's absolutely arson, and almost assuredly a couple counts of attempted murder....

I wonder if somebody shot the guy?

Are you on an instance/app where images are default collapsed? Like a twitter clone or something rather than Lemmy?

Or is a giant image intentional?

I was just blocking everyone who does it often because it's jarring. But so many of you keep doing it so I wanted to ask if there's a reason or just why?

On both lemmy.world with the default UI and on the voyager app, images are resized to a reasonable size for inline display. It seems like a defect of whatever you're using that it doesn't do that.

images are resized to a reasonable size for inline display. It

On a web browser it sizes the image to be full size at full screen width, making it giant compared to text

Nope, it's just that way by default. Drives me nuts too.

We need collapsible links like RES had.

Show the link, then a little preview box we can click on to make it load without leaving the thread.
