@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org Mastodon does have link previews, I see one in the reply to this thread for example. And of course no one is forcing you to click on it. If you're following someone then it stands to reason that you do care to an extent what they find interesting.

@ibrahimtencer@mathstodon.xyz Link previews FREQUENTLY fail. I see bare links much of the time, as many other users have reported. On busy/slow sites the previews can be long delayed or sometimes never appear. I follow various people who have various interests. The fact that I follow them for a tech link doesn't mean I'm interested in a cooking link. It wastes my time and resources to click on links that somebody hasn't bothered to take the few seconds to describe. Period.
