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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

How many people do verify the information ?
Also, last time I did check, the source actually was some text hallucinated by a LLM even though I had specifically asked it to only use scientific sources.
I only found out because I also checked the sources quoted in this text and found out said sources simply didn't exist.

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ how many do it writing their own shit or checking Wikipedia. All of my friends and peers check ChatGPT far more than regular search or wiki precisely because it is more prone to mistakes. Doesn't mean it's not the quickest way to track down the correct answer. None of this is new. This isn't going away and that's not how the majority of users with access feel.
