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.

Videos are a big screen activity.

For me it's more that youtube videos are a browser with an ad blocker activity.

Firefox for mobile with your chosen ad-blocker

I've found the venn diagram of those who most frequently try to get me to watch videos on their phone, and the people who watch said videos in a third-party browser on a device that supports extensions, is just two distant circles. Your mileage may vary.

I watch things all the time on my iPhone, no ads ever! Use Wipr for a couple bucks or Firefox Focus for free and no ads!

Edit: or Vinegar and Baking Soda also make for better mobile video experiences.

Wipr is the best, no ads nor problems. Frequent updates. Accepts donations!

Never heard of it but I’m going in, thanks to you both for the authentic recommendation.

And a big screen. Not necessarily 'living room tv' big, but definetly big enough that I can't fit that in my pocket.

Have you really lived until you have watched a hour long marble race while cuddling

[–] spamspeicher@feddit.org 10 points 1 year ago

But not a the biggest screen you have activity. That is reserved for movies and TV shows.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

At least medium screen.
