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.

I'm so glad I don't work in industries like that.

Send me a doc file? In an email? Nah.

Just send me a webpage or PDF I can open in the browser. I'm not opening anything that requires downloading software.

Also malicious web pages. You might need to do slightly more than opening the page, but with all the captcha and similar prompts people are click happy today.

Personally surprised there aren't more attacks that mimic the click to prove you aren't a robot and other captcha prompts.

U still need to get someone to download or install something. The browser engine is incredibly locked down in terms of messing up ur system.

When opened in a web browser not really. They can't jump the v8 engine and can't access remote services without explicit permission due to CORS.

"Here's the draft, please mark up and return." And it's a fucking PDF print of the word or excel doc.

Every damn week.
