Especially when posting on Lemmy, we can edit the titles people. Don’t just copy the clickbait title. Folks here on Lemmy loathe clickbait and I see more things get downvoted to hell because of a lame title.

I’d rather post the clickbaity title then edit and get accused of clickbaiting myself.
I presume folks here are mature enough to note a clickbaity title, and move on to their actual comment, e.g., “Clickbaity title aside, the widget issue Alice and Bob are debating is very serious.”
