People who just publish a link are annoying. People who publish a link that you can't follow are a pain.
And yeah whatever ... I just want people to stop duping non-posts into my timeline ... pretty arrogant if you ask me.

These posts are pretty hostile to annyone not on a lemmy instance. All they contain is a link to the aussie.zone site which is unreadable without creating a logon on that site. So basically useless and clagging my timeline.My only options are going to be mute or block you but it would be better if the site software behaved in a more friendly manner.

There s some really old research out there originality focused around Volvo cars that came to the conclusion that people drive to a constant level of personal risk. Put them in a safer car and their driving will be riskier. This lead to memes about spikes on steering wheels that threaten drivers.
Also many younger people have never seen a police patrol on the roads so they feel that their behaviour carries no risk.

Just a few days ago the news carries pictures of a vintage Holden muscle car being crushed because the owner had been driving at 250 Kph in a 110 Kph zone.

My biggest complaint is that the link you send to Mastodon is NOT a link to the story being referenced it is a link to aussie.zone which is just stupid in the extreme.
