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.

everyday I'm thankful I never let curiosity get to the better of me as a kid on the internet

Yeah, I used 4Chan for a while as a kid. From what I've heard it's more tame now, but I saw some stuff no person should ever see. I think it helped shape me as a person though, largely in a good way. It helped me form opinions about death and killing that I think are good.

Personally, I think people should have to watch some combat footage before they vote. Your vote can send people to go kill other people. If you don't know what that looks like, maybe your opinion on the matter shouldn't be worth as much. Until you see someone dying (actually dying, not hollywood dying), I don't think you should be allowed to make decisions about killing people.

Extra benefit: identify the very small % of people who actually are extremely enthusiastic about it when watching that kind of shit and somehow as society try to deal better with those people...

Can't understand reality without seeing the bad.

I didn't need to, was walking around at my school when some other student was watching them out in the open on a computer in the hallway
