    Screenshots stay with time, I hate it when I arrive a bit later and the link is already dead and I have no idea what it said.

      …except when the image hoster suddenly dies and 10000s of Screenshots suddenly vanish from the internet and all howto’s etc are killed by it

        That’s why you shouldn’t use external image hosters but embed the picture the normal way. Then if the lemmy instance dies then the screenshot dies with it but not seperatelly.

          well, often webprojects don’t have that much money and hosting communitys who post a lot of images, videos etc. costs a lot of money. because that a lot of users use imagehosters to bypass this issue.

      Copy/pasted text stays with time too and doesn’t have the issues that pictures of text do. Also hosted images disappear all the time.
