Keep posting them, but we should just copy the text and link to the source instead of screenshooting a couple of sentences like my mom, no? This would save some disk space and power consumption as well.
Maybe, but image posts drive more engagement than text ones. You can see on !lowqualityfacts@lemmy.zip that the text posts, which are no worse LQFs than any other ones IMO, score noticeably lower.
I like sites / Lemmy frontends that provide some kind of ‘teaser’ for text posts (they also show a bit of the post’s body in the main feed), meaning you can often see both the feed line and the punchline for a post without going into it (it works well for ‘dad jokes’ for example). But the default frontend - lemmy-ui - doesn’t do that, so it hobbles the potential of text posts.
Here’s the correct way:
- Take a photo of your screen with a camera.
- Have the film developed or print that photo if you have a digital camera.
- Make necessary highlights with a pen.
- Scan the paper.
- Upload the file here.
Did I do this right 😂
White on black, perfection
This guy boomers lol.
I’ve had someone at work do that. They printed an email, highlighted and wrote in their responses, and sent it back as a .jpg.
That was just the sort version. There are even more convoluted ways some consider to be unnatural.
I think a hybrid approach is better, have a screenshot and a link to the source too. with a screenshot of a post on a whatever site I don’t not to figure out which privacy frontend is working right now every single time.
