I disagree. A Twitter screenshot is very easy to validate if you don't trust it. If you want to go to the site to see it yourself, knock your socks off.
If you want to stay on twitter and post useful stuff here, go for it.
In the current year, you shouldn't trust any screenshot that purports to be critical information if you can avoid it. (ie: if the source still exists or an archive of it does. I realize there are some circumstances where a screenshot would coomprise all of the available information on a subject.)
I didn't say to trust it. I said it's easy to validate twitter posts, you go to the username and look at their tweets if you want to validate it.
We aren't going to agree, it's fine.
Whether the link is there or not, my personal choice is that I am not going to give twitter any traffic at all. The only exception is videos that I can't find any other way but still want to see.
Okay, so there's an exception. You're a hypocrite. Do it or don't, no halfway maybe bullshit. If you're gonna post a screenshot of a link without posting the link, don't post at all. This is standard, high school level protocol. It's not hard to not be a lazy fuck, much easier to not be a lazy fuck that blames their emotions for their laziness. Either post the source link or don't post....half the shit on there links to outside sources anyway so you don't even have to link to twitter in the first place.
Everyone out here trying to get back pats by saying that they're giving up twitter just sound like a bunch of emotionally weak twitter SJWs.

My choice is to deprive them of my traffic.
