    OP: Instead of posting an image of an image of text without link to source or text alternative, which breaks accessibility, searchability, and fault tolerance for no compelling reason while making the web less usable, could you try at least linking to source?

      Covie @covie_93 on x formerly known as twitter:

      Minutes after former President Jimmy Carter’s death was announced Scott Jennings was on CNN calling him a “terrible president” with a “big ego”. He wasn’t fired. He never apologized.

      After Paul Pelosi was attacked Fox News hosts joked about it on air. They weren’t fired. They never apologized.

      After Charlie Kirk was killed Matthew Dowd said on MSNBC that he was “divisive” adding, “hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.” He was fired after apologizing.

      Free speech only goes one way.

      It’s totally comprehensible why users here do not post links to this hatespeech platform imho.

        Not really.

        Not linking to source, because they hate the hosting platform is feel-good, petty vindictiveness that that does little against the platform while actually hurting the uninvolved on accessibility & usability. To prevent traffic to platforms, linking to alternatives like proxies for those services & web archival snapshots is common practice around here.
