what’s stopping me from just screenshoting

Images of text? Accessibility.

So, another sacrifice at the altar of social media to deliberately break a straightforward feature at the expense of people who need accessibility.

ableism +1
accessibility 0

Social media can be such trash.

Atleast mastodon supports image descriptions pretty well, so it would be possible to make the posted screenshot accessible.

Possible, unlikely, worse. The most accessible content is native text with the full content structure of the original. Quoting without compromises & feeble games would be better.
