I’m always in favor of putting your own title. You are sharing something, make the title about what made you share that. Reference the original title in the body of the post.
Comment on Star Trek legend Jonathan Frakes says TNG cast were “Rude” on set
CantSt0pPoppin@lemmy.world 11 months agoI was going to frame the title in my own words but did not. Should I have done so?

Respectfully to the other person that replied to you…No, what you did was correct. It’s important to keep the title the same as you are sharing not editorializing.

It depends. With important news I would agree, but this article is just a fluff piece. Changing it would harm nobody, and in fact be less harmful due to the misleading nature of the original headline. It would have been fine for OP to title the post something like “nice article about Jonathan Frakes having to put up with the cast goofing around when he directed a few TNG episodes”

I figured as much, when I do posts I do my best not to sensationalize them. Thats why I started anchoring the titles to the articles so there would not be any allegations or claims of me doing so.
