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

My family found out quickly this was a bad move, because if all future issues are my fault, then clearly I did a bad job for you and I shouldn't ever touch your computer again. Here's the phone number for geek squad, GFL.
I was probably a dick making them go to geek squad multiple times before helping, but that's how long it took to get an apology.
Not a dick move making someone experience the other option if they can’t appreciate the service you were willing to provide for them out of the kindness of your heart and presumably asking nothing, or very little, in return.
I recently had someone mention that I’m not updating my self-hosted stuff frequently enough (by their entirely arbitrary personal metric), and had the pleasure of writing out some.. not overly nice messages about how I’m being selfless and generous sharing my very time consuming hobby with them and asking absolutely nothing in return, and if they want more they can pay for it from someone else or learn to do it themselves. If you make my hobby feel like work, I’m not going to treat it like a job, I’m just going to stop sharing it with you.
