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 a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

It’s like turning off your radio so you can read the map better.
Gotta go big screen for big purchases.
That suggests it's just a matter of focus. I can open multiple screens on my pc without issue, and switch between windows and tabs easily. I also don't have to worry about auto-correct messing something up, and websites by-and-large have awful mobile sites compared to the default on desktop. The mobile experience is just worse in nearly every way, barring portability.
People who entered the Internet for the first time on a smartphone have already outnumbered those who began surfin' the web on computers. Otherwise opinions like this would be obvious to everyone, as almost any computer screen is massively better and mouse / keyboard control is far more precise.
Eh, it's only been 14 years or so since smartphones reached what I would consider ubiquitous. That definitely leaves a lot of people probably most familiar with smartphones, but I doubt it's the majority. Probably getting close at this point, though.
