Well, that also means you can’t verify if a post was actually made or not there. I stay the fuck away from twitter except through nitter if I’m checking a “source”. So now that’s gone I guess
Honestly, genuinely, and 100% seriously, if it is a twitter screenshot, it is probably better to simply disregard its veracity. Twitter screenshots are 80% dunking on random vermin, 30% bot posts, and 20% faked. (Percentages reflect the vent diagram of fuck that is twitter) I used to verify, until I realized that the people there are simply not worth knowing.
Well, the thing is like say you see someone share something outrageous that makes you ask “wait is this real? Did they really say that?” Being able to check veracity is important in the age of disinformation.
Also since I post a lot of comics I typically try to share the source. Now most artists have moved to other platforms, but their backlog might still be on that shithole. I don’t want to provide a link to that place, so being able to link to a proxy is preferred
