[scottmichaud@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@evan We're talking about things that the author clearly wants to be shared?

[jamesmarshall@sfba.social]

@evan yes, with the consent of the creators.

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@evan Sure, just protect/hide user names.

[jeremy_pm@mastodon.nz]

@evan

No longer being a user of any other SM sites makes this question somewhat personally redundant.

[hipska@mastodon-belgium.be]

@evan why screenshot? Just use the link to that content…

[bobjonkman@mastodon.sdf.org]

@evan

Yes, but I'm not on any other (non-Fediverse) apps or websites where I post content.

There's a few blogs, but they have the ActivityPub plugin, so they're part of the Fediverse (and I've never posted screenshots there).

And I use Bridgy for my Bluesky account, so my Fediverse posts go there, but those aren't screenshots...

@evan Public posts, with link, so people can visit and see what they are missing.

@jamesmarshall @evan ☝🏻 this

@evan
No, a link is enough.

If the post is public, anyone can see it.

If the author deletes posts after a while (automatically or manually), the link becomes invalid. So that's fine.

@evan@cosocial.ca no, i share links
