I don't say "remove the source", I say "the source can disappear, the way back machine have already been attacked, just do your own copy of the source and make it available".

I know screenshots can be faked, but if your news source does it it is not reliable. Drop it immediately.

In that case, too, the text can be quoted, then just like magic it's accessible. A quote that links to the source is a strong combination.

Everyone benefits: the text is searchable, reflowable, adaptable to multi-modal input & output, easy to quote via copy & paste, etc. It's simply more useful & screenshots don't inherently give any of that.

Yes. I talked about screenshots because the first message said:

I can't see any screenshots from the article, all require a bluesky account. At least on twitter you could see images without login before the takeover.

For "text source only" I'm with you quotes are enough.

And if images are post anywhere, always provide an alt text, plz everyone !

If the point is to reproduce an image, not text, then yes, definitely provide those images. Agreed: nothing wrong in that.
