A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I remember back in the day we had a popup blocker. Now we are bombarded by popups, but inside the website instead of new windows. The most annoying part is the times delay on them. When the page is loaded, you want to click on a link, but a fraction of a second before you click a promotion pops up and you click on that. Or the Google ads when searching. Click result.... Oh no, the ads loaded in, I clicked on an ad instead. Fuck you.
The amount of effort you need to put in to get the info you want. So annoying! They try so hard to keep you on their website as well. When I want to know a shortcut in excel:
I think most of this could be avoided if you used ublock origin
PSA. It's disabled on Chrome now. Switch to Firefox (still looking for a better alternative myself with recent FF news though.)
It's something I've been putting off. But chrome is unusable now. So many ads. I'm sure there is a workaround but just like leaving reddit it's a good time for me to find a chrome alternative.
Just download LibreWolf and give it a try, takes like 20sec
I have a Pi Hole, Proton vpn with ad blocking and Vivaldi browser with ad blocking built in, but that's not enough apparently
Oh I know, I'll skip all of this trouble and just ask AI instead!
Wait what happened to pop up blockers in your mind?
Those were for new windows popping up. Not built-in newsletter or promotion popups AFAIK.
