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.

Turning off almost all notifications, running adblock , and ditching social media (except Lemmy, if that counts) , seems to really limit the damage.
You can quit any time...
🦆💀👹 You just don't want to. 👹💀🦆
This is where I'm at, it's not bad at all.
Doomscrolling Lemmy but that's just sending me further left, so...awesome?
Engaging with stuff I want to engage with and not what the algorithm decided to shove down my throat today has been going pretty well for me the past couple of years. Reddit was the last algorithm driven social media I used, so now it’s just whatever of that mess leaks into fedi spaces.
People want to pretend that making themselves read bad news like it’s a full time job makes a difference or makes them more morally correct or something, but really it’s a form of self harm that keeps them from acting. Unless analyzing the news is literally your job, nobody needs more than like an hour or two a day, absolute max. Fill those other hours in the day with something good for yourself or other people.
