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.

Peter Theil is the primary investor in Brave.

For those not in the know, Peter Theil is a MAGA Christian-Nationalist fascist, and owner of Palantir.

Palantir, is the military industrial complex company Trump has entrusted to create a mass surveillance network on US citizens, completely against the 4th Amendment, and dwarfing the NSA spying that was exposed by Snowden.

You can garuntee any activity you do in Brave is being tracked and sent to that network.

People here up upvoting baseless conspiracies based on a braindead notice that technology is like magic.

If everything was tracked and harvested by Brave, it'd destroy them much more than the bullshit "homophobe" allegation. Just use network traffic monitors to see if it does. You think people haven't tried?

Or do you think software can covertly send data without users being able to determine?

It's open source for fucks sake. Stop with the Alex Jones tier analysis.
