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.

  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.

I remember Google used to send out maps showing where you've gone this month.

We KNOW where you've been!

Nope, they're trying to help you.

They could start by making the tech less addictive in the first place.

Nope, they're trying to shift the responsibility for being addicted to their addictive tech to you. Like fossil fuel companies and their fucking cArbOn fOoTpRinT

There’s nothing intrinsically addictive about a smartphone; the problem is the apps, and particularly social media.

I'd argue that having 24/7 access to the Internet is inherently addictive. Social media apps just tend to exploit that using various psychological techniques so they can get their users to use their apps moreso than other apps.

I use exclusively open source apps to access YouTube (PipePipe in my case) and Lemmy, and I am absolutely still addicted to my phone.
