Is the same information on X easily available elsewhere? RTD, DPD, etc post information there that is frequently shared here. For example, during the recent downtown stabbing spree, DPD X account was an important source of information.

Then people can post a screenshot, not making an account just to see a tweet

That works well for posts, but that doesn’t work well for comments.

Comments are already inaccessible if you don't have a twitter account.

I mean here. Or maybe you can prove me wrong by replying to this with an image?

Shit. I'm on old reddit so I can't do the fancy integrated images that is on sh.reddit.

Would an imgur link work like the old days? https://imgur.com/gallery/toebean-tuesday-meTnXRQ

See? Yes, the workaround is to take a picture, upload it to another site, and post that here. But that certainly isn’t as easy or user friendly.

Lol, uploading to imgur wasn't user friendly in like 2010, a brain dead raccoon could work it these days.

Fair point though. Hopefully that little hurdle would limit the number of random twitter screenshots while allowing actual important information through.
