@loriemerson 10. Never post an image/screenshot if you can type the same in plain text.

"Never post an image/screenshot if you can type the same in plain text."

For a simple list like the above. I agree.

I suspect that there is a "plain text penalty" for words/ideas without imagery in social media, but I'm not up on the trends, rules, or research in that domain.

The image being a picture from a book conveys additional information (that this quote comes from a book at least) and may give additional weight to the pure text.
If the text where a screenshot, or just in itself typed on a digital device, ok.
But then still, this discussion would be off topic and typical mastodon rudeness and derailment.
