Due to Facebook removing diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and targeting the LGBT community in their policies, and Elon Musk’s blatant fascism, we’d like to act in solidarity with other social media platforms and ban all links to Meta and X/Twitter.
So from now on, in this community these links will be removed.
Hopefully this approach makes sense to you, but no matter what, do share your thoughts on this.
as long as evidentiary screenshots are good to go, I am 110% down with this. starve the beast of whatever traffic we can - cut links to hate sites.

Interesting point and the way you put it, kinda helps me frame an answer. For me, the keyword you used was evidentiary
Practically, I can think of a couple of reasons for now (there could be more!) to use a screenshot, let’s say from twitter.
-
As evidence of what a deleted tweet was saying. I have the impression that due to how things are there nowadays, we are far from that sort of discourse.
-
Or as a reference to an actual tweet. In this case - imo - the screenshot is not necessarily enough as evidence, so a link is needed like we see in some articles. I suppose it also depends very much on the community itself. For example a white people twitter community is very different from one that is related to ocean conservation & tidalpunk, like this one.
For now, that’s more or less what I have in mind, and I’m open to discussion for sure.
