This template allows posts from social media sites other than Twitter, to be easily quoted within articles. This is an alternative to (and fork of) Template:Tweet. It is more appropriate to use this template than a screenshot of a tweet or post, because the text it contains will be accessible to screen readers.
To select what image it displays for the social media network, put the name of the SVG logo file in the "sitelogo" parameter.
