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.

tf

This is why we don't overuse initialisms. I can't tell if this is meant to be "the fuck," "trans-femme," "type:fox," or some other thing.

You mean OpenTofu

Terraform was corposlopified by IBM

[–] FrederikNJS@piefed.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Wouldn't that be .tofu, instead of .tf?

I know that OpenTofu also happily uses .tf but at least in my mind .tfkinda still belongs to Terraform, eventhough they have indeed corposlopified as you to eloquently put it.

I honestly never knew you were supposed to use a different extension.

Transformers: Furries in disguise

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I believe that one was Beast Wars

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

One more potential "tf" to the pile, then.

[–] bonn2@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

In this context I am 99% sure you are right

Lemmy feature request:

Turn Reply Notifications Off (like Reddit has)

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That’d be an app feature would it not?

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How so? Reddit has it on their website proper.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because Reddit is centralized. They control everything from the site to the app.

Lemmy is very much different, where every instance handles the data individually. And that data isn’t natively pushed to your phone, that would be something handled by an intermediary that your app is running.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I use Lemmy on my desktop browser via lemmy.world.

[–] gajahmada@awful.systems 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you ever find out what the acronym means?

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Probably not. Most people here seem more invested in telling me fake answers.

[–] Inkstainthebat@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

In this context it's probably "transformation", as in art featuring a character turning into, eg, a doggirl

[–] Forester@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Inkstain is correct. Trans Furmation. Source am very friendly w several artists in the furry community.

[–] Unique_Emerald_Sol_I@ani.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not going to try and claim I'm all that familiar since I'm not really in the community (got maybe a tiny handful of friends who are) but I've not actually seen the furmation part but once or twice, I think for most people it's just "transformation", no?

(tho I will echo HCSO's frustration that the "TF" acronym always being used in place of the word is infuriating especially as a fan of actual Transformers)
