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.

If you're not using Firefox or a fork of FF with uBlock Origin and still complaining about ads: What's wrong with you?
PSA (I honestly don't know anyone else who does this) the Android version of Firefox supports the uBlock origin extension (among other things) and plays YouTube videos perfectly fine.
I haven't had to watch a single ad on YouTube on my phone for years and well over a decade on any PC or Mac.
There's also LibreTube and Grayjay, which don't show ads at all anyway, and also come with a skip button that turns on for in-video sponsor ads / asking you to like and subscribe.
+1 for Grayjay, not the most user friendly out there, but once you get it setup it's really good!
How do you stop the YouTube app from trying to force open?
Do you have the ability to Force Stop and Disable it in your app settings?
You should be to copy paste any youtube link into your Firefox browser.
Get an OS that doesn't fill your phone with unremovable bloat ware. You can also turn off opening links in apps in the Firefox settings, or install NewPipe and make that the default app for YouTube links.
