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.

I hate doing anything on a phone. The UX is just bad most of the time. Most of the crucial information tends to be hidden away in sub menus. Dark patterns everywhere so you get psychologically manipulated into spending more.
Plus there is never an urgent time to buy something quickly enough that id take out my phone and clumsily navigate through some garbage outsourced app to do it.
Yeah, when I hear people complain that their banking app breaks when they use a non-standard Android ROM all I can think it "You bank on your phone? What's the emergency that can't wait until you get home to your real computer?"
I can only speak for the credit union I work with, but their app is largely better than any web based banking site I have used. From what I can find it is considered very well built, and secure, not just smooth to work with, simple UI, and have never given me single issues using it as designed.
I find myself on their site only for reading things. Like loan policies, investment stuff, etc. cause those types of documents just work better for me on a desktop.
