If it took you 10 seconds it could've taken OP 10 seconds to include it in the body.

Thanks for the link. Posting a screenshot without a source is lazy and dangerous. It’s unlike that the majority of folks that upvoted this post did any due diligence? It’s more likely that they upvoted because it matched their existing beliefs which just sets this community up for manipulation. We need to do better, especially during an election.

I’m not trying to be lazy, I’m calling OP out for being lazy. And granted I did not articulate that well at all in my “Source?” comment, so you were right to question my motives 👍

I cannot search x and don't want to, but I searched this whole thread to find if someone verified the source. I appreciate him asking and you posting it both.

Clarify what you're asking for so I know if you're a dumbass or not.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

What other than a link to the tweet do you think this could be asking for?

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I am wanting OP to post the source if they’re posting social media screenshots as the vast majority of people won’t verify the post. It’s also possible that a post gets deleted so providing a link lets folks use tools like way back machine to verify in the future. We should require this level of posts hygiene, especially during an election cycle. I’m trying to teach an OP to fish instead of just looking up the source for them.

But to be clear, I am a dumbass for many other reasons.

How about you pull your head out of the sand.

This isn’t helpful, my post was aimed at OP and calling them out for posting a social media screenshot post without a source. This is especially dangerous during an election.
