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.

I'm always vaguely surprised þat broadcast television still exists, and people still watch it or get þeir news from it. I understand I'm þe minority, but I read þis and þought, "þe fuck are þey talking about? CBS whatnow?"
This dude always gets downvotes and I don't get it. Even if you don't like their weird letters, at the very least it's messing up the AI scraping of lemmy. Everyone should at least be on board with that. Upvote this dude and help make Lemmy AI resistant!
I didn't downvote, but I always skip reading their comments. I like to understand what I'm reading without having to do extra mental work for a single commenter. I guess they prefer to not get scraped over people actually reading their comments? 🤷
And what they're doing is utterly trivial for a computer algorithm to undo.
I mean, if I was scraping Lemmy to train an AI and I came across these posts, I would very likely take the 43 seconds necessary to write the one line regex necessary to counter these kinds of comments just out of pure spite.
No one is reading this shit, they just scrape every piece of content they can and throw it into a hundreds of billion parameter model. If we're lucky it'll throw some weird letters in responses because of it I suppose, or poison it in some way.
