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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Just leave Gam Gam behind. She neither understands nor cares what happens in a group chat. Gam Gam is just happy to eat turkey.

She's the smartest of them all

bro don't use discord, use Plerg! it's compatible with both Pleeb AND Schmoob!

also remember how we all left reddit because of the bots, when Lemmy doesn't have bots either.....

Did you "not-see" what the CEO of Plerg did?

People didn't leave reddit because of the bots, lemmy was created in opposition to reddit's openly nazi ownership and leadership; as well as a way to ensure no single reddit-style platform can be dominated by a few superusers that impose far-right moderation policies and tactics in order to limit discussion and artificially reduce left-wing political discussion.

The fact Epstein's owner, Ghislaine Maxwell was a power-mod for multiple default subs tells you exactly who owns and runs reddit and that mods there aren't exactly neutral unpaid members of the community.

The largest Reddit migration to Lemmy was due to the API changes. Don’t attach the creators’s philosophy to other people.

This is not how to convince people to switch platforms.

This is why I just designated my phone as the privacy nightmare, no bookmarks, no logins (besides google which is also my designated privacy nightmare email) and no payment details saved on any browsers or anywhere on it other than what's needed by my carrier to pay for my plan. Lets me keep in touch with family while keeping my main PC a bit more secure.

How about everyone text and CALL Gam Gam.

Signal sucks, tho. Use Session instead. Or SimpleX. Or Delta Chat. Or Matrix...

I hope I never become so befuddled that pushing one chat bubble icon instead of the other is confounding.

I don't understand how some people who are ordinarily reasonably smart just turn into subhuman intelligence when faced with a new computer thing.

My dad is quite elderly and he manages to run ubuntu fine. My mother, on the other hand, gets confused and angry if anything changes at all on her phone or laptop.
