View submission: Social media rule changes
I've always felt social media posts should be just screenshots, especially for sites like Twitter that require a login. Thanks, modly ones!

I agree. It’s just easier to see, and half the time the link takes you to the mobile site instead of the app

I completely agree. If I see a post with a Twitter(X) or Facebook link in it, I do not click on it. I do not want to have to log in to see the content.
If it were a screenshot I would click it and view the content. Screenshots would provide more views to local businesses because of no login requirement. The argument that local businesses and others use these platforms falls flat because their content would likely be viewed by more people on this subreddit if it were a screenshot.

I'd be fine with that if old.reddit allowed you to post a screenshot.
As is I have to upload it to another website and then post a link to it here.
So is it better for me to screenshot a post from X and save that image on Imgur and then post a link here? Now you have to leave reddit to see the imgur content.
I can't post this image directly in my post
