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.

ok, but you cannot disallow a legit band name then.

Surprisingly, I get poser-checked much more often for my Caduceus necklace than my Rolling Stones bag

They think you're a fake doctor because you only sprang for the single snake?

They ask me if I know what it means and if I'm a doctor. I really just wear it because it was a mcguffin in a cool gamebook i read

I appreciate the anti-gatekeeping sentiment here, but I can't reconcile that with the judgment I think we'd have for someone wearing a Che Guevara shirt without knowing who he was.

Perfectly reasonable.

To be fair their gen x and millennial parents probably still buy most of their clothes. I buy my son band shirts and he’s college age. He’s got Dropkick Murphy’s, NOFX, RTM, Nirvana and Rancid. He’d recognize their songs but I don’t know if he knows the names of the songs
