I love the sentiment - but does anyone know if it’s real? Or who the original poster is? @ickplant posts a lot of… borrowed content… I mean it’s great content - but I sure don’t trust the veracity. Fact checking and due credit matters - even on ‘feel good’ stuff.
Totally! I checked and over half the stuff that I forward is posted by @ickplant - posting content is a lot harder than lurking - but giving credit adds so much depth.
I LOVE that they just posted the source because I get to TRULY enjoy the post now.

That’s not the part that was shamed, was it?

Oh no! Someone is posting content that isn’t theirs on the content aggregator platform! Can you imagine? What is happening to this world?
