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?

    Thanks, this is a good insight and I’ll pin this for awhile and add the text for my other screenshot recipe post.
