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:
- 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.
- 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.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- 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.
- 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.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Due to RF constraints, there always will only be like 3 or 4 MNOs.
Hell, in ideal situation, I think a single carrier could be far better. Every carrier is going to have some unused bandwidth, and all of it could be added up.
Possibly we'd be doing quite well even with sub-1GHz. Let's say on 4G instead of one 10MHz channel in 800MHz, you'd do 2x20MHz for a total of 40MHz. Now, of course, everyone would be using that, but you'd have far less wasted bandwidth, because anyone would be able to use it too.
Unfortunately, that could just end up with the side effect of much larger websites. Same as with increased storage sizes and computation power the efficiency of programs just went down.
