I don't personally use either website, but my main concern was that banning either, specifically meta, would hurt already struggling local businesses. We felt the screen shot compromise would atleast be a way to not generate more clicks but not punish businesses that haven't done anything wrong.

That definitely works…. I think the link obstruct just keeps the definition of Reddit separate from the others. Provides an impartial stance too. I tried looking at other social media outlet apps just out of curiosity, and it’s pretty amazing and disconcerting how meta /fb has more or less monopolized it with their offerings vs what people get elsewhere. Reddit is pretty much the only major competitor I see. So why should Reddit support other social media outlets? Not saying they can’t live together … but they don’t need to jump in bed together either.

I think you all did just that with your compromise / solution. Good job.

See my post above https://www.reddit.com/r/Knoxville/comments/1i7o4mc/social_media_rule_changes/m8nu4j3/

How do you expect me to post a screenshot? Are imgur links allowed? I sure don't have the ability to post an image directly in my posts.
