Saying it's "yet another victim" seems slightly too emotive to me.

If people can't read the source site's domain after the headline then I agree there wouldn't be much context, but equally, if they can't read that, surely their best solution is to adjust the zoom level in the browser.

It's clear you won't get complete context from the headline list plus domain, but a hint of it is provided and if you want more you click the link. Maybe I'm being a little uncharitable but I don't see a big problem here.

Even using the source domain isn't informative enough. The alternative headline is better. You are being too charitable to an inferior title.
"archlinux.org" is less informative than "Arch Linux"?

I'm sympathetic to disliking the change, but that's taking it to an extreme.

With this title, I thought it was a post advocating the usage of Zstandard or vanting its technical merits, and that it was posted on archlinux.org.

When you take out information, don't expect people to have the correct guess.
