And Instagram. Their website won’t even load on iOS, it’s just a blank white screen.
You know what will always be safe to send people? Fediverse links! Our shit actually works and won’t scare people away.
And tiktok. I can't see any of those things when it's a link.
I feel like Tiktok is one of the few that does work without an account.
It's a pain to unmute before it starts, you have a banner hiding the top and bottom screen so you only see half of the video. If it didn't work at least I would have an excuse to tell them not to send me links while being polite. (it works fine on pc though)
Or a screenshot. Please send me a screenshot instead of a link to whatever you’re going to show me.
This is a problem in instant messaging. In situations where I would have linked to a page containing an image, I've been in the habit of saving the image and sending it to the other person directly. It's faster. And I'll be honest I'm not writing attributions or credits when I do that unless they actually ask for the source. It would be better if everyone shared things by their actual original source, but like I said it's faster. Youtube is one of the only mainstream commercial sites still decent for this.
