MODERATORS
It would be kinda cool if there was a rule where you have to at least try to post a link to the original post. Especially when it's so easy to determine where it is by the picture.

But why?
The image conveys everything I need, I don't have any reason to load my browser up and visit a whole other website I don't even use, when I've already gotten everything I could possibly need from the quote already.
To credit the creator and give people the opportunity to interact/follow them or the conversation on that platform.
The creator is fully credited in the screenshot and it tells you exactly where to find them on Mastodon if you choose to do so. I have no obligation to cater to your laziness.
Interesting accusations given you were too lazy to just copy and paste the URL you were already on, two keystrokes, and calling others lazy for not wanting to type it by hand.
If it was original art or something, I would agree. But this is just microblogging for the amusement of others. It's not a work that takes real creative energy.
I mean, to follow suit OP here has to make this repost worse than OOP. Perhaps that's their way?
It's a legacy of reddit, facebook, insta, twitter, etc.
You weren't able to easily link to the original post there, so people simply screenshotted it.
I agree that there's no such excuse here. Thanks for linking to the original post.
