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.

Anyone using Electron to build any greenfield app is a fucking moron, full stop.

When you have to consume 300+Mb of memory just to display 15Kb of text, when the exact same thing can be done in native code for less than 2Mb of memory, “moron” is the kind and gentle word to use.

Excuse me, but did you not see my fancy graphic and animation? And my cool autoplaying adverts? And the dickbar asking you to subscribe to my annoying newsletter?

I don't know what web you're looking for, but it's not the one I (and my many clients) design for. /s

/s I'm not a web designer or coder. I only host plain html. Shut up. It's sarcasm / satire done poorly.

Just use Qt and you're already cross-platform.

Or if it has to be web, you can get crazy far with a 15 kB HTML document and possibly some native JS.
