It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

Only if they include the link.

I prefer the screenshot to a webpage because

  1. If it's a shit site, I don't want to give it clicks and revenue

  2. News sites have a history of manipulating the title over and more to maximize views

  3. Images are easy to scan within the Lemmy app. Versus kicking me to a browser that has to fetch data somewhere.

Posting screenshots of webpages isn't disallowed.

But posting screenshots of webpages without a link to the source is temp-ban-worthy
