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.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Problem is I don't see a baby whatsoever...

People have looked at it from all sorts of directions and tried to propose use cases but none have come up with any particular use for this concept that isn't just as well or better served by a different approach.

Without the crypto-bros, sure, no one would be especially 'anti-blockchain' and it wouldn't have the negative impacts it does today, it just would be a forgotten concept that didn't go anywhere.

This is literally the fault of the banks and billionaires controlling them. This is exactly what they want you to believe.

They'd go bankrupt if people started keeping their money on a blockchain and they will do anything possible to prevent that and push the propaganda in the oop post.

While it's partially true, banks and billionaires are much more toxic to this planet and people.

So what are the good uses for this tech then? That was the main point you disagreed with but didn't provide ant examples

Read other comments, there are plenty. I'm lazy to parrot what was already said by others.
