Is disabling twitter embeds something you guys would want?

Yes, as it would force people to post screenshots of tweets which - in contrast to twitter embeds - cannot be deleted. It's very frustrating to find people discussing a tweet that's been deleted before you had the chance to see it.

What about a bot that posts screenshots when social media is posted?

Ideally people would do both. Sometimes I'd like to click on a tweet and look through the replies or check out what else this guy has been talking about.

Screenshots can also be easily manipulated for trolling/bait. A better option would be automatically archiving twitter links and embedding that instead.

@rusty_shackleford can I please get access to the politics forum? I'd like to read it, but doing random low effort posts just to get access doesn't feel right.
