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.

Anecdotally, I have seen much less pro-Republican sentiment on the Facebook feed for my local newspaper. Usually anything related to Paxton or Trump is heavily “yay MAGA! go USA!” and name calling against liberals. Since the attack, I’ve barely seen any of that narrative and it’s people calling them out for their actions.
Could that mean that the entire user base had a change of heart and flipped? Sure, but unlikely.
Anecdotally you should understand what sample noise and confirmation bias are.
The bots that went silent were search indexers
I’m trying to figure out why there is a small vocal minority so hell bent on saying “it’s not those bots!”. What purpose does it serve? It’s like the kid who’s hand is stuck in the cookie jar trying to deflect to something else.
So tell me, why are you pushing things so hard?
I think I've made two comments to that effect so I don't really understand the premise of your question.
I try to correct untruths and didn't think there was any special reason needed to do so.
Why does it strike you as something needing justification? Even from a perspective of someone not necessarily agreeing on the facts, I don't understand why this would come across as anything other than someone commenting about their perspective, which is... the whole point of discussion-based social media like Lemmy.

Because disinformation is bad even if you agree with it..
The automated request traffic (potential bots) simply moved elsewhere, the initial impact was still felt at the Cloudflare level.
