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:

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.
Absolutely no NSFL content.
Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

For now ...

I wouldn't put it past them to start trying to mesh network their way out of local network jail. Are your neighbors as diligent as you are about privacy and security?

I'm pretty sure at least a few of them do that already. I've seen too many reports of tech savvy people not knowing why they got updates when the TV has never been connected.

Very possible. Or maybe "just" connecting to any open wifi networks that might be available...

OTOH, I take "non-tech-savvy" reports with a healthy grain of salt. "Never been connected" could simply mean "I didn't plug it in to the Comcast box". Or "I connected Netflix, I didn't connect the TV".

These were tech savvy people who I generally trust, plus a few Internet reports of dubious trustworthiness (like everything else on the internet).

I wish I could remember the brand.
