According to your logic, crosspost links always display, so by crossposting from ML, you’re driving traffic there and reducing friction. Right? It’s right in your post, you even said so!
They display, in a separate submenu, increasing friction. It’s well known in human behavior/UI design that every additional click for the average user reduces the likelihood they’re just going to click it for no reason
That’s not really friction, and in fact, on the standard Lemmy UI, it’s not in a submenu at all…it’s just straight up linked under the post title. No extra click required. So what’s the difference?
Well sure, it’s not foolproof, but the vast majority of users are probably not using the default Lemmy UI (because it kinda sucks lol) and instead are using an app or other front end.
People should know that you’re crossposting from transphobic instances, in my opinion, so I’ll continue letting people know, especially for those using screen readers. Also, I use the default Lemmy UI almost daily.

Don’t worry, I don’t crosspost anything that’s transphobic or propaganda or that weird…spam post that shows up from time to time…
It’s a big reason why I can’t bot it lmao
Then don’t worry, I won’t post links to transphobic content when I link the ML crossposts in the future, since you don’t :)
