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.

You didn't use AI, I think it'll be fine. The guy posting in the shot may have, unless they're really good at photoshop.
"You didn't use AI, the person whose content you're spreading did, so it's fine!"
It still propagates the use of AI, especially in the form of propaganda (even if it's an argument most of us can agree with). This can only be bad.
I'm not a fan of generalized statements. Do continue. How is this usage of AI for this statement that most of us can agree with bad?
Because it makes every argument it's part of generic. It's just a cheap and easy way to make something that automatically agrees with you. No need to put effort or thought into it, just spawn an argument that supports you without anything to back it up.
That makes a lot of sense. I suppose I had resistance the idea of it being only bad because it is cheap and ease to use. Having the means of production in the hands of the common people has historically given the common people power, and propaganda has historically been something only available by those well funded.
But there is more nuance to this discussion than I previously considered. Thank you!
