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.

imho if they actually delete your info afterwards, this is actually useful. (currently deleting a lot of accounts; opened a support ticket on one site that said that i want to delete my account; after a while without response, the login didn't work anymore so i assume they just deleted the account without confirming it to me (like, i guess that is exactly what i asked for but i'd rather get a quick email so that i can mark it as deleted in my password manager than having to check if the login still works))

The alternative to that is things like Facebook where you can't actually delete the information because they instantly reactivate the account of you "try" to log in again.

This is absolutely a dark pattern, which should be on a list of well-defined dark patterns made illegal anywhere that handles PII.

Being privacy conscious is exhausting, yes.

It's good info to have if they break the law and keep sending you more emails after the "it can take X hours to remove you from the list" period.

I prefer to know for sure that they heard me.
