    Why not post a link to the actual XKCD comic and give the author the views instead of a random site?

      The random site is their lemmy instance’s pictrs. Randall doesn’t care about reposting, and this is nicer since you don’t have to leave lemmy

        In fact he doesn’t care about reposting so much that he Creative Commons licensed his whole comic.

              So much for “nicer since you don’t have to leave lemmy”

              The alt texts are one of the best parts of xkcd

                It turns out a lot of people (who aren’t otherwise interested in xkcd but would like a relevant one in the moment) really don’t care about the alt-text and titles.

                I’m with you, but more often than not in the “relevant xkcd” moment, people lack interest for the alt text.
