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.

  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.

I expect your mind is made up and that you already realize this, but it's not that this idea would solve all crime, it's that it would help. It's about which policies do the most good.

You dont think I understand that this helps? I know this helps. This tweet is acting like they've found an absolute fact and no one in government is listening but that doesnt track at all with reality and "memes" like this erode public trust in government. The reality is every single leftwing government around the world knows this and even right wing ones at this point. They have all implemented some form of policy based on this understanding but it's not a silver bullet and government is a balancing act and at some point you still need other approaches like police.
