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 a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

This is really what we need from things like Google Lens and things that can scan images for text; filtering out stuff based on text visible in an image.
Fuck Google, just use tesseract
yeh!
Lemmy should do this automatically on the server to help with our filters.
How do we submit a feature request?
That would be a pretty expensive feature request.
Why?
OCR and especially AI image processing takes a lot of computing power, much much more than filtering plain text.
Last time I checked tesseract had pretty good performance, but I may be mistaken.
You’re right. I’ve preferred it in mobile applications where specialized hardware is not guaranteed and battery use matters. Results are consistent.
