Error message "Make sure you're connected to the internet" when posting links with non-link text

[Roopappy]

Reproduced on iPhone using Firefox (really Safari), and Linux using Firefox.

Create a new post of type "Link" and add a link, but then line break and add additional text, then try to submit the post.

The error message "Make sure you're connected to the internet" comes up.
If you try to submit again, you get a "Whoa, slow down there" error.

I believe this should be an error about failing the link validation, but the error that comes up is confusing to the user.

Interesting, that would probably need to be fix here, as it seems it just uses a generic message. Maybe we could instead check client side on the page to ensure it conforms correctly and notify the user there?
