That's just the usual people getting ahead of themselves and insisting the most extreme highest comedy scenario is going to happen is going to happen thing. I can't imagine anybody actually seriously thought that was a guaranteed scenario and were just kind of shitposting though.

Kind of feels like the same hill to die on scenario could be interpreted the other way around. Getting kind of defensive over people even suggesting alternatives to twitter link->dunk comedy posting feels like dying on a hill from where I'm sitting all the same. You seem to feel awfully strongly about this topic basically. :shrug:

In firefox you can use "Inspect element" on the tweet, find the div, copy the css selector, and take a screenshot using the console like so

code:
:screenshot --dpr 1.5 --selector "YOUR SELECTOR HERE" --clipboard true

You can of course also just do this...



btw I recently discovered that you can just paste the image from the clipboard directly into the imgur upload screen. No need to save a temporary file.

SA is giving Twitter traffic you obviously can’t support it if you think not linking is some moral imperative

It’s not about that of course but at least be consistent with the fiction

I like the links because I save them as bookmarks and more descriptive than scrolling through images.

Also Twitter still has important and valid use cases especially with respect to journalism stuff like what's going on with Twitter, what's going on in Ukraine, etc.

I'm sure if there was a better platform to do all that, it'd be replacing Twitter in this very thread.

I want Jack's and Elon's version of Twitter to die, but I think the platform does have its merits.

As Musk would say, "Technically, we didn't claim 3 phones, but that it can hold 3 devices."

The tiny Tesla logo on the front isn't even lit up.
Probably came up with this because two weeks ago when Musk was having his hissy fit over Apple he tweeted about making a phone, and since that was impossible he demanded a product that was phone-adjacent.

Are you both referring to my post about the transphobic celebrity who paid a group of men to have my real life trans friend put in hospital? Because it reads like you are complaining that I asked that we don't promote a transphobic celebrity who paid a group of men to put my trans friend in hospital.

Every time you link to Twitter ITT, you are leeching Twitter’s bandwidth and costing Twitter money without them getting anything in return. This is why one of Elon’s big ideas before the sale closed was to charge sites for embedding tweets.

Linking tweets is praxis. :colbert:

No they’re talking about the people who want to post screenshots of tweets rather than embed them, despite embedding giving the advantage of a) being able to click through to the tweet and b) not being able to post fake images of tweets

Why care about linking to twitter when all the ad-buyers are pulling out meaning it's going to fail hard regardless if the internet bastion of SA links to it or not. Views are dogshit as a form of tracking interaction and getting 100 extra boosts on random tweets from SA won't mean poo poo compared to people on far larger platforms.
