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.

I used FilterBox to block spammy notifications.

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

You haven't blocked any spammy notifications in while.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

?

Can't you just turn off Notifications on the app. Is that Android only?

That turns off all notifications for that app. FilterBox let's you block them based on key words or other criteria. It's like a spam filter for notifications.

For some apps at least, you can turn off notifications by category. Usually that takes care of any annoying ones.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The apps that abuse notifications like to mix useful notifications in with the spam so you can't turn them off individually, it's all or nothing. FilterBox let's me give them the finger by getting the useful notifications without the spam.

Give them the true finger.

Turn off all notifications or alternatively uninstall them.

Neat. I feel like so many apps spam you with unnecessary bullshit because their core functionality uses notifications and they have their foot in the door that way.
