Or, and here me out Seth Abramson, he’s a fucking fascist and he’s looking to dominate as much of the planet as he possible can… But nah, he’s a WHITE MAN, so we must treat him with fucking compassion… :rage:

How do I generate a preview in a box, like your linked article from the Guardian?

You don’t.
Either the website does it automatically - or it doesn’t.
Something to do with how sites are programmed, adherance to standards, different versions of this and that…
Most times it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.

If you read the article, “compassion” is not the overriding theme.

“If no action is taken—and I suspect no action will be taken—what this man in his burgeoning madness does to America as POTUS in the coming years will be on the heads of not just him and those who support or enable him but those who ignored urgent, informed warnings like this one,” Abramson concluded.

I feel like the situations where Onebox rejects a preview are way too broad. For instance, it seems to require a featured image, which seems unnecessary.

What I find interesting is the onebox is often different than what’s in slack onebox, including different images.

Sure, but even the whole “he’s mental ill” narrative is problematic. He’s not mentally ill - he’s just a fascist. If you understand fascism, everything he does has just that internal logic. The more we replace that with “madness” or “mental illness” the more we’re just turning away from the problem.

Plus it’s insulting to anyone with mental illness to be lumped in with that deliberately offensive creep.

Yeah honestly I’d wager that most mentally ill people on average do not favor fascism as quite a few know well how those who are identified as mentally ill tend to fare under fascist and authoritarian rule.

I hate to say it, but I think “half” is optimistic.
