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.

It's been long enough I don't think I could faithfully remember the details of their argument. I think they were insisting that no AV was needed at all though, not that Windows' built in protections are sufficient, which has indeed been true for a while.

That could have been me... I once had a virus in the 90s. I didn't know I had it until I took a floppy into the university to print something, and it alerted me. So I installed McAfee, it found and took care of this virus. Then a month later my PC wouldn't boot. Long story short, I had to remove McAfee to fix it. The experience stuck with me- antivirus has caused me more problems than any virus ever did. I have lived dangerously ever since. (Though before I run anything even slightly questionable, I will fire up a disposable VM)
