      No, but everyone can access and read that in their own choice of viewing tech without problem, even on very large or very small monitors, even through automatic translation apps, even in an audio screen reader or a braille interface.

      An important part of the fuel of the exodus from Reddit to here was Reddit deliberately shitting on users who happen to have special accessibility needs. Lemmy - the software and the user community - needs to be better than that to earn its place as rightful successor.

        But just because Reddit did it, doesn’t not mean it was wrong.

        Screenshots provided context, a compatible format, more difficulty to edit(not hard, but way more difficult than swapping words around in a copy/paste).

        Also if you linked a presidential tweet, Instagram post, or other social media… There is a large percent of people who will not be able to access it due to not having an account.

        I understand wanting a link to the source, but I can’t think of any realistic reason a copy/paste would actually be better than a screenshot
