Nobody said anything about misleading people. If people disagree with the framing then they can add their view and have a discussion about it in the thread. That's literally the point of having a forum is it not?

not misleading per se (more like confusing), bc ppl may choose read the article and engage with the post depending on the title of the article, which they expect to come from the publisher, not the user posting the link to the article (but that's just my opinion 🤷‍♀️)

I guess we have a different understanding of the purpose of having forums like Lemmy. If I just wanted a news feed, then I'd use RSS for that. To me the point is precisely for people to provide their own views on the topics in the submissions, and explain in their words why they thought a story was worth sharing. This is what makes it a social media site.

I also don't really see how keeping the title the same has impact on whether people choose to engage with the post. Seems to me that would be based on whether they thought the title in the submission was interesting or not.
