Maybe don't let Muse run your Facebook Marketplace account

we need a Nitter for Threads
apparently people use Threads. I suppose the same kind of people who connect Muse to Facebook Marketplace.

  I initially found screenshots of this on Bluesky, figured I'd link to the original source given Threads seems to at least allow us to read without logging in.
  With that said, in case Threads isn't available for whatever reason, I've uploaded screenshots of everything (I think?) here: <a href="https://imgur.com/a/mceW9WF" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/mceW9WF

    Mastodon's dependence on screenshots from other social networks is infuriating, enough that I left Mastodon altogether. Screenshots are text, they can be doctored in 15 seconds. Screenshots in the age of AI are utterly useless.

    This reads as anti-mastodon propaganda tbh. You never heard of Inspect Element, or saw screenshots of twitter on reddit and vice versa?

    Sure, but Mastodon doesn't embed anything and links from "the outside" usually don' work on other social medium unless you have an account - which leaves people unable to verify. Twitter users don't tend to be inspired by (or present on) other networks, so it goes:
    X has FB and Insta screenshots
    Insta has FB and X screenshots
    FB has Insta and X screenshots
    Bluesky has FB, Insta and X screenshots
    Masto has Bluesky, FB, Insta and X screenshots
    So what I'm saying is on Mastodon, you are exposed to the most screenshots of other networks, because there are no techniques to embed them and people refuse to link to them for the reason they aren't on those networks in the first place.
    As for AI, i know toddlers who can prompt but are unaware of what a right click is.
