Having the recipes posted in text would:
- Make it easy for readers to copy them for later use, instead of having to manually transcribe them
- Improve accessibility for the vision-impaired
- Ensure that the recipes remain visible months or years later, surviving image cache and file host purges
- Make them visible to folks on instances that don’t cache remote media, without having to allow off-site images in their browsers (which can be abused for web tracking)
Should this be a rule?
I’m just suggesting that people can do that if they see a post that’s an image. It might mean people are more likely to do it than if they had to type it up.
