Can we make a habit around here to post directly the tweet/comment/article instead of posting a screenshot to it (kbin.social)

I'm sorry to post this here, this might be the wrong place so please redirect me to a more appropriate magazine.

On Reddit (LinkedIn is even worse if I'm being honest) you would constantly see screenshot of tweets but never a link to the tweet themselves.

kbin would probably save a lot of bandwidth doing this, and it'd make the experience much more pleasant for those who want to follow the object of the screenshot's discussion.

I disagree with this. I'm all for federated and non-corporate alternatives but I think we should post the source and not an alternative front-end. Those that want to use exclusively those alternative front-ends have access to browser add-ons that automatically redirect them.

why? what's wrong with the alternative? as long as the origine of the source is clear, meaning the person behind it, I don't see the problem. could you elaborate if you would?
