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

Whenever an app does that, I take away notification privileges immediately.

Right? Like "You wanted me to notice you? Oh I noticed you now. And while I'm aware of you, let's just go ahead and take away some of your permissions...."

80% of the time I do this with the button that revokes all other privileges too: "uninstall"

Depending on how useful the app is, that’s generally the next step.

I uninstalled the Carl's jr app because it's notification sound was of someone taking a bite of something but exaggerated and more like what you would expect from a cartoon character. That shit made me uninstall it fast, I know I could have just disabled notifications, but my phone making that sound at me randomly when I was in the middle of something pissed me off.

Oh right, like Cheat Engine that laughs at you.
