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.

- 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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I mean, if they were somehow forcing them all to move the group chat, sure. That might be a valid argument then.
But as it is, it seems they simply left the group chat, and said "if you want me in it, move it to signal."
That's not forcing anyone to do anything. That's setting a boundary. The people trying to pressure OOP into using software they don't trust are the only ones trying to force anything.
Isn't MK in this scenario doing the same thing? Trying to put pressure on their family to use a piece of software they don't know and aren't comfortable using?
I mean yeah, MK's take is more informed, but sides are likely to see it as the other side trying to get them to cave.
Anyway. Rereading, "Signal is better opsec" when your 92yo grandmother wants to plan Thanksgiving is cracking me up.
I think they're more saying they won't participate in an imessage group chat. Which would ordinarily be fine. It's only strange in this case because they're still using imessage.
If palantir knows who's bringing the stuffing, what else do they know about you and your family?
