    So copy/paste the text, and link the original.

    In the case of this post, the ability to go to the original and learn the further info added by the author in subsequent posts is of use.

        They can do that in the image as well. For example:

        Screenshots are no more unalterable or trustworthy than text. Why not copy/pasted text and a link?

            No, but everyone can access and read that in their own choice of viewing tech without problem, even on very large or very small monitors, even through automatic translation apps, even in an audio screen reader or a braille interface.

            An important part of the fuel of the exodus from Reddit to here was Reddit deliberately shitting on users who happen to have special accessibility needs. Lemmy - the software and the user community - needs to be better than that to earn its place as rightful successor.

                It’s not a compatible format with screen readers. I’d say use a site like the Internet Archive maybe? ~Cherri

        We should copy paste the text, post a screenshot as an attachment, and a link, and then carve the screenshot into a stone tablet to be put on display in the basement of the british national history museum

        holy shit guys, just post the data however the fuck is easiest

          That’s not necessarily accessible to disabled people who have to use screen readers though. ~Cherri
