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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

The death of literacy makes me sad.

Edit: post is riddled with grammatical errors and fucking 'catastrophy' — yet I get downvoted. Read a book, something that actually had an editor — then keep reading more books. You will develop literacy eventually.

Don't punish someone for practicing their art imperfectly. Instead of improving their craft, that only incentivizes them to stop practicing.

Practice makes permanent, if you've reached a point where you can make political commentary you are far beyond the point of learning to spellcheck.

Language evolves. Don't be sad, be adaptive.

Language needs to be evolved by people who understand it though. Not by people too lazy to proofread.

That shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how language evolves.

None of you dipshits are going to convince me that 'catastrophy' is an evolution of the language. You are a fucking idiot if you believe that.

You just don't understand what I'm saying because I'm using the newly evolved form of the words.
