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.

Google. Google strikes down all the legitimate torrents from their search so you're left with all the virus cesspits. I usually stumble into a few before finding a legitimate one

You're doing it wrong. There's plenty of resources on how to torrent safely. Start there to find reputable trackers. Don't just download random shit off google.

Cool, where? Like seriously to the average normie we don't even know where to BEGIN looking.

To get back to the earlier point, this is why VPNs are not a silver bullet to figuring out all the hurdles on to how to pirate

The piracy community is one of the biggest ones on lemmy. They have a wiki pinned as the first post when you go there. It's pretty hard to miss that community if you're on here for any amount of time. Reddit also had the same thing. That's not particularly far beyond places "normies" frequent.

And yet it's the first time that it crossed my mind. Trust me, tech illiterates such as me struggle more with these things that you might believe.

Also thank you, you don't know how much of a help you are giving me pointers. I know it might seem obvious on your end, but it really isn't if you aren't as internet savvy.

Bruh - a key reason why you are tech illiterate is simply because you're telling yourself you are. There are only two skills needed to become tech literate: (1) the ability to read, which you seem to have; and (2) the ability to accept that you don't know something, while remaining persistent with asking questions. Though it may be true of the present moment, consistently telling yourself you are tech illiterate and not Internet savvy is reinforcing those beliefs and hindering the ability described in (2).
