    Twitter screenshots are harmless because no one can click them and give twitter traffic, which was the main point of the banning of their links

    Besides, this was in 2019

      it still advertises twitter and drives traffic to it, as one might be compelled to look up the original post and reply to it.
      a simply solution is to crop out the twitter parts, or even better, just copy the text over instead of posting a picture of text
      ….
      honestly posting pictures of text is so dumb it hurts me physically…

        People are lazy AF dude. The vast majority of the people viewing the post aren’t going to look into it further if they just can’t click on it like they could with a bluesky link. The .0001% that do is giving the MuskRat like pennies compared to what a link could do

          you’re underestimating people a bit but, as a matter of principle, it legitimizes a nazi owned platform.

            Bruh, lots of people had internet at their literal fingertips and didn’t know Biden dropped out of the election until after it was over. No, i dont think I’m underestimating people

              people on lemmy are a lot different than grandma not looking up election news online, come on, bruh….

                You really think the only people who didn’t know Biden dropped out were grandmas?

                My point is pretty simple and obvious: people are lazy AF and having a tiny little Twitter thing on the bottom of the post image isnt that big of a deal
