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.

This also has the AI text, no?

It's hard to describe, but text in AI generated images tends to have the same font and colour pallet

(The image shared by the oop, not the one you posted to be clear)

Yup, it definitely is. Like you said, it’s hard to explain but you can just tell after seeing a couple of them.

AI explicitly generates images based on what it was trained on. If nobody used this color scheme then AI wouldn't have generated it because it couldn't have been trained on it.

The background color evokes paper, especially older paper. It's a common motif.

the off-white background and low contrast font color are signs for sure

there are also subtle differences between each usage of a given character (the serif on each "e" and the apostrophes stand out most to me) and inconsistent kerning
