I do this because I dislike giving ad revenue or traffic to many of these sites. But you’re right - it can be annoying if it looks interesting and I’ll try to include the archive org link
Actually I have crap internet and the screenshots are much better. Half the time I try to load a website, it fails. Lemmy fails lots too, but it’s better trying again until all the Lemmy screenshots load in than having to try and load each meme on a remote website five times.
I’d normally agree, but Newsthump is no The Onion. You’ve seen the best of it right there in the picture. It’s like listening to Emo Philips read one of his own jokes.
Can we please, please stop posting screenshots of articles instead of links to them? It’s way less useful and not at all easier.
Only exception is pay walled stuff that isn’t easily worked around …
Ctrl-C, ctrl-v. Thank me later.
Good point

Perfect, thanks
In a sub (community?) called PoliticalMemes I assumed it was a fake article…
Seems to be the rule in a lot (most? All?) of the news subs. In those cases I just report them for breaking the community rules…
It’s a real satire article

So you’re mostly here for the memes?

Easier for me to figure that out and judge the publication if I can actually read it.
The original source is like the top post on Lemmy now. And has been in various coms in the main feed all day.
I’ve seen it. I’m saying can we stop this practice?
