Toxic people can also be fun, helpful, and even friendly. They can also be toxic. As too can I. Generally you want to avoid toxic people if you can... but you can't always do that (e.g. your boss, a parent especially if you are still young, etc.).

My advice is to focus more on yourself and your own issues, over which you have maximum control (and also responsibility). e.g. if several people can gaslight you, while nobody else around you is getting gaslit by any of them, then you are the common thread. I'm not trying to blame you to be clear - what do I know? - just offer food for thought (and anyway, it takes two to tango - so part of that would be their responsibility, but part is also yours?).

You can become immune to many forms of toxicity, by identifying those areas inside yourself that need bolstering, and working on them. Like therapy?

But that's tangential to your point. Yeah it's good to identity toxic YouTubers and avoid watching them:-). There are so very MANY red flags. And paying attention to those and avoiding the ones who display them is an example of you taking responsibility for your own mental health and stability - kudos! :-)

No, it is only you who are annoyed at this.

I believe you are mistaken, as that one is actually Transformation, since it fundamentally and irreversibly alters the properties of the recipient substance!:-)

PieFed has some interesting thoughts along these lines.

I actively expect to never see such a thing in Lemmy though.

Thank you - Reddit is one of the major sources of easily findable images on the internet (like gliffy and imgur etc.), so it would be good to have those links work.

And regardless the Preview feature showing differently than ends up being rendered is definitely the biggest issue IMHO. It's hard to balance all of the various factors though, I do get that!:-P

Something that I discovered last week is that the "preview" feature may show the image but then later when the proxy gets added then the image no longer renders.

Testing with the same one from then (it renders correctly with Preview):

image should show here but it does not

Edit: yup, and sure enough it still breaks after the proxy is added. I hope this report helps!:-)
