Believe there’s a setting to have it only do updates when there’s wifi available, which takes less battery.
Also it makes no sense to quote an entire message like that.
Actually you can just highlight the comment you’re replying to before hitting the reply button, and the Lemmy web client will copy it down for you quoted.
I started doing that when I found out people were going back and changing the reply to me after I successfully countered it, to make my reply look incorrect or off-subject.
Basically, documenting the conversation at that moment of time, so my reply is not misrepresented later on.

What’s sketchy about https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.en ?
That isn’t what they posted, they obscured the url with a bunch of garbage text. I’m not bothering to check the url when the text looks like that.
Well, feel free to click on this link then: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.en
(it’s just a link to Google homepage - the point is that you really shouldn’t trust the link text lol)
