I'm sure that's going to take about 30 minutes before they begin to regret the videos coming out of it...

~~Maybe post a source, since you quoted something from somewhere...~~
It's not that they didn't post a source, it's that not all fediverse platforms are compatible with the Reddit-way of posting.

For those that don't have a link in the description or title, a source:

Actual: https://openai.com/index/disney-sora-agreement/

I posted the link to Ars, a pretty solid tech news source, but thank you for the direct link to Open AI's announcement as well. The more sources the merrier!

Must be something wrong with Piefed then, because there is no link whatsoever in the post as I am looking at it right now, other than the image's link. The title isn't a link, either, just text.

Oh that's wild! On fedia there definitely is, as in attached screenshot. I guess they decided that since nobody on reddit ever read the articles anyhow, why implement it :D

Looks like it's time to ditch PieFed. The past week has uncovered some other pretty shitty inconsistencies and incompatibilities with Lemmy instances that are beginning to make it impossible to use.

Just for your future reference I guess, might help to post a comment or put the link the description for other fediverse platforms that are clearly lagging behind.

I appreciate the suggestion. It quite literally hadn't even occurred to me, so I'll be sure to do that for future posts intended for wide audiences.

It's not just PieFed, even on Lemmy there is no link.

This is likely an Mbin issue with federating the links out.

I've added the link below the quote, which may help in the future.
