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.

You don't even need to disconnect imo.
Just use the phone more consciously. It's not crack, if you want you can put it down more often, read a book and when the brains says hey what phone doing you can acknowledge the thought and maybe not act on it every time. Soon you'll find the balance you want between all phone all the time and being mindful 24/7.
Honestly, for me, limiting my phone use is harder than it was to quit smoking. One main part is of course that for many things you need your phone, so its often on your person. I do try living more without it, but it can still suck me in.
What part sucks you in? Social media? Which one specifically? I find reddit is more addictive than lemmy for example.
Well its just the new information, I deleted Reddit ages ago, but I still compulsively watch Lemmy and my mail, messenger apps. (Though a lot less than when I had Reddit up). It's a weird compulsion. I've blocked many attention sucking websites, but still. But gotta say, I'm resisting more and more.
