From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would have loved an actual description of the video, so I don't have to click on it without knowing what it is...
Agreed. This is a lemmy bug. The OP is on mastodon (where video previews are fetched and displayed) and has no control over how its rendered over here. It'd be nice if lemmy fetched the title and description
That’s what happened to me a few weeks ago. Tried to post on mastodon something for a Lemmy istance and…same result. Not OP fault so stop downvoting as hell 😊
It's not OP's fault, but voting is how we're supposed to curate content. This post doesn't have a title or description so it's a bad post on lemmy and I think downvoting it is acceptable. Don't consider votes a reflection of a user's value or standing
Actually the problem is o Mastodon side. Mastodon developer refuse to use the same standards as everyone else.
