It seems to be plausible to communicate in more detail what a link or image is about, or publish additional references. At the moment this has to be done in the comments. This sucks, because OPs tend to know more about their topic than average commenters, and also may want to steer the discussion in a specific direction, provide additional references, and so on. This should be done in a dedicated text-field, and not in the comments. So Link-posts should simply be a subclass of text-posts and have just additional fields.

Then your language-skills either equal those of william shakespeare, or you're not used to having anything nuanced to say.

Edit:

That sounds more insulting than it was meant. What I mean is: Usually I try to communicate some idea, when posting a link, and sometimes this idea isn't too obvious, and sometimes even complicated. In those cases the 150 or so chars are too short to communicate what the post is about. They also lack formatting, which makes things worse. That can't be solved by making them longer, because items in listings have to be short for the listing to be useful.

This is all in a title:

☣📉 This pandemic and economic crisis are going to destroy narcissistic egomania. Status and virtue signaling are going to be worth jack shit. I'm going to enjoy the fall of a few specific folks. Back to basics, whether people like it or not.

.....now tell me how much more nuanced I need to be.

plz read the edit of my former post.

You can't put references, if/else clauses, listings, and so on in a title without fucking up the readability of your title, and if every title is unreadable in such a manner, the overview page of this site will become unreadable.

IMHO newspapers have it worked out well. Title, Subtitle, Description, Content.
