I like embedded tweets, and yes I can still discuss the content

58. The thing is,

if one of us posts an embedded tweet and for whatever reason (e.g. time, forgetfulness, laziness) doesn't include a text version, there's nothing stopping anyone who can't access them asking if the OP or somebody else could post a text version.

That already happens with videos etc., where folks who can't view them may ask for the gist or a transcript. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that if I saw a request like that, I'd happily help out if I had the time and the tweet was textual or had an image that could be copied and pasted (not all can).

We're talking about etiquette. It's very hard to enforce that, so now many of us are aware it's an issue for some folks, we're going to have to rely on people observing it. But given the other, sometimes annoying, breaches of etiquette I see on here every day, I don't hold out any hope for 100% compliance!

The alternative is a tech fix by the admins as I've suggested may be possible elsewhere. I'm no coder, so I don't know how difficult or practical (a) offering account options to display embedded textual tweets as text might be, or (b) not displaying them at all, just the link (that second option probably wouldn't be hard to code, but might not be a solution for most of those having issues).
