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.

I don't think a comparison with environmental activism really applies here. They are just browsers.

The main problem is that it's a decision between making a monopoly win (google with chrorium that take almost all the marketshare) and the possibility to overthrow it, "they are just browsers" well- yeah they are, until you notice how the kind of influence you, just look at how google want to ban adblockers so bad and want to make other shitty moves, i suggest to look further

I don't really get this Firefox community either. Why is everybody pissed all the time at everyone who doesn't cheer for Firefox all the time. Sometimes it looks like a cult.

It's only a part of the community, and it's the loud part*. Please ignore them and don't lump everyone together.

.* i actually don't notice them much tbh, so i don't think that they are that loud but it could be just me being lucky
