This is bewildering to me. You’ve been on Lemmy for at least 9 months and I know Lemmy wasn’t your first exposure to social media, yet you’re acting like it’s your first day on the internet itself. How is this not a bad faith inquiry? What culture and cohort do you come from that this is a sincere question for you?
Why do you assume everyone has a Twitter/X or Instagram where posting a direct link would work? Plenty of us don’t use social media except for Lemmy, and these apps are designed more and more to where you need an app to use their features or even see the posts.
Why do you post screenshots from other places on the web…?
Thats just how the internet is?? Memes spread this way and its been that way for decades

First of all, you don’t know me, but pretend you do.
But to get back to the point: There are links. It’s easy to just link to the post instead of posting a screenshot.
What if people just want to lool at the post themselves?
What if people use a screen reader?
The screenshot will not work for screen reader users. A screenshot is inaccessible.

I don’t use the same username everywhere and I use very few things. Almost all services I use are selfhosted by me.
You have no idea about me, lol
Again, I never claimed I know anything about you. Are you even reading my comments?
For the engagement bait. You’ll notice OP always asks a question in the subject but just for the autism community. To me it feels kinda pandering.
Edit: OPs fan base is disagreeing with me about how OP makes me feel. lol, lmao.
Yeah, it’s a bit strange.
Also, links have been a thing since at least the 90s, why not simply tell us where a post comes from?
