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.

He may be the inventor of politics for all I care, credentials are no indicator of truth.

A claim such as this needs some data, otherwise it's not much better than any right-wing conspiracy.

Isn’t it obvious from his tweet that he doesn’t have data, therefore, his conclusion must be based on personal experience and input from others. Which is why he doesn’t call for twitter to be banned, but for it to be investigated.

And regardless there have been multiple credible news stories and even US government reports on pro-Trump bot networks on twitter.

It is obvious, you're right. I just feel like the proper course of action wouldn't have been a claim and a demand for an investigation. Maybe ask others for their experiences and link a petition for people to sign, should they share this feeling, and start an investigation that way.

I feel like compiling receipts (a list of known/suspected bot accounts) and then following the paper trail would be a good idea... like Wolverine hunting down the school bomber during Civil War
