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.

my immediate reaction when hearing their explanation was that their entire infrastructure must be completely fucked and that the admission alone would prevent them from operating... anywhere. they effectively confessed to failing every basic security principle there is and as a result they can not be trusted with any data whatsoever without a thorough, independent audit.

like, if this was actually an "unknown actor" we would either have gotten a cve number and 90 day grace period, or a complete shutdown and an animated ascii skull. the entire way they went about this shows their entire operation is untrustworthy, and the fact that they're apparently not seeing that makes it even worse.
