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.

Don't worry. Not much later and you won't be able to buy any kind of console or even a PC at all. You will only get "terminals" that are basically paper weights without the necessary subscriptions.

"You will own nothing and be happy" won't stop at games, movies and music. Better hope your 20€ basic office PC subscription won't become 50. Oh, and surly you'd love it if we baked some ads into "your computer". What? You want to play games? Better pay even more to rent 1/100 of some graphics card in some server room. Aren't we nice? That card costs like 10,000 bucks, surly paying 50 a month is a steal, no?

Just think about all the fucked up shit you could do to screw people over like this. How much money you could squeeze out of them...
