I've been encountering an increasing number of links which "may not available on your instance", even for posts which I know are available on my instance.

Here is a absurdly silly example where I used a remote link to one of my own posts. It can't be unavailable on my instance, because I made the post! :)

Is the "my arse" really necessary in this context?

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

My intended use in this context was to humourously "express disbelief in what was just said", in reference to the pop-up error message. If that particular phrase is too vulgar, I can remove it.

Seemed more aggressive than humorous to me, and it seems like you are getting downvoted (not me) so maybe the message doesn't get through

FWIW, I think this phrasing is understood differently depending on region. In the UK, and especially the northern counties in England, this is mostly understood to be a humorous exclamation of disbelief rather than anything aggressive.
