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.

Oh you sweet innocent child.

I say, the majority adopt something they adopt it because that’s how the majority like it.

In the world of UIs, majorities "adopt" something they adopt because it's the default, imposed, and people tend to just not change the defaults (or it flat out can't be done).

but also I dont know how they cater to everyone

Add it as a tunable in settings? Most stuff has settings, it's marginal zero effort to add a new one.

If they willingly adopt it then its not an issue, no?

If its so easy they should equally be capable of implementing their own work around, no?

Whether its something that people adopted willingly or not makes no difference to whether it's an issue. Most things can still be (or still have to be) improved. And once again, "adopt" is sus. As is "willingly" (are you "willingly" accepting something that marketing tells you to be true?).

If its so easy they should equally be capable of implementing their own work around, no?

That's something that is done sometimes, yes. Say, Librewolf could restore some tunables that were removed from Firefox. But that still depends on how invasive the change is (and on whether you can actually implement a workaround or not, which means you'd need the code, a build system, etc).
