We're stuck with the HTML formatting that lemmy provides us, unfortunately. It's not just about an image vs. text though - it's also about being from the original author. OP for this post is getting plenty of replies, but I've no idea if it's an issue they care about, or just something they saw and found passingly amusing.

As for sending on, a screenshot to friends on non-ActivityPub platforms is more reasonable (although being text means you could just copy/paste it, and then include any friends with vision impairments too).

But yeah, there's lots of pro's to a screenshot that I don't have an argument against (I posted in this thread, but it's not like I'm going to show up everytime someone yoinks something from Mastodon)

Oh yeah I was just imagining out loud what a better way of handling cross-posted content across federated platforms could look like
