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.

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

Just stick to XMPP for encrypted coms. It's the original WhatsApp ( same Protocol before it was centralised and owned by world gov.)

ou can run your own server too.

You may even transfer and generate phone numbers paid with Monero on some clients.

I get where your mom is coming from, but if the 92 year old gamgams all over the rest of the world can use WhatsApp, your gamgam can use Signal with the right direction and patience. People don't give enough credit to the elderly. They're very capable, but just might need a little extra help to get there.

Would be better if Signal hadn't removed fucking SMS from their app

Completely irrelevant since this is obviously Apple users who never had this feature in the first place.

How are we gonna share our family credit card numbers on this unsecured line? How will grandma tell us the launch codes without them knowing?

So embarrassing when you accidentally invite a journalist to your secret Thanksgiving channel 😒.
