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.

You also need to go through the settings with an electron microscope and turn off all the data collection stuff. The text prediction, dictionary, pen and tablet stuff, it all collects and sends data to MS. There's a bunch of services that you need to turn off as well- some of them you can't.
Optimally you would take a scalpel to the registry and group policy editor.
There's a bunch of super useful scripts you can find on github, too!
Edit: Oh shit how could I forget, remove all the microsoft bullshit rules in the firewall as well.
Do those all degrade the speed of copy and paste as well?
I have no clue, but it sure as fuck doesn't improve any performance metric.
Is there a list somewhere of everything you should turn off?
Here's a powershell script you can run that takes care of most problems: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat
Make sure to read the whole readme before you run it! It works for Win10 too.
And here's a great tweaking tool from MajorGeeks.com, which can keep you occupied for a few hours:

Before you make any changes, do a full system backup so that in case things start getting wonky, you can revert it. This often happens because a lot of the crap is deeply hooked into the system (guess why), so when you remove or disable stuff, sometimes you get some unpredictable or annoying behaviors.
It takes years to learn all the ins and outs of properly performing Windows debloating surgery, but the satisfaction is real, and worth it.
Happy slicing! :)
Thank you so much!
My pleasure! <3
