Why a xitter post of a screenshot with no link when the full article is public? https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&bundleId=fzd17071731

- silok 3y agoAlso because xitter provides a broader discussion platform and reach compared to only HN (even though I highly appreciate the HN content). But yeah, the xitter post should preferably also contain that url to the source.
- NewJazz 3y agoBecause that article is published by docusign and they could change it.
- DistractionRect 3y agoIn that case a link to an archived copy is preferable to a screenshot of the partial document hosted by Twitter.
- fddrdplktrew 3y agoAn archive link should be added as a comment automatically for all posts... in some cases it would even allow you to bypass paywalls...
- ehPReth 3y agohttps://web.archive.org https://web.archive.org (take a screenshot option if you have a login and it's JS madness WBM can't handle), https://archive.ph https://archive.ph, etc (hopefully captured more than one if possible) - random screenshots are proof of absolutely nothing. (here's one for the page above: https://archive.is/e6K4K https://archive.is/e6K4K)
- ankit219 3y agoBecause twitter downranks any tweet with link, so now users put a pic/screenshot in first tweet with the link in the next tweet.
