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.

  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.

Fun coincidence in terms of "three assholes": the phonic punctuation mark ஃ in Tamil, which looks very similar to an asterism ⁂, is used to represent a voiceless glottal fricative (like the /h/ in "ham").

The two fun rectal-related bits:

  • This type of character in Sanskrit phonology, a visarga, means "discharge".
  • Its cousin, representing a nasal /n/ sound, is called an anusvara.

~Disclaimer: I think this is all true, but I don't really know what I'm talking about, I was just looking into the Unicode a little.~

I'll have you know my asshole is perfectly central!

Not my experience with the fedi, quite the opposite, tbh.

I think this was specifically a mastodon dig - which I totally get. Feels like most of what I see from there is quite obnoxious.

I hate that reddit-style sites federate with twitter-style sites, too. I #don't #want #to #see #a #million #fuckin #hashtags #in #the #title

I think it really depends on which instance you choose since it's not my experience with Masto at all, either. I've been on .art since 2017, I think. It's a super strict instance that heavily blocks users and instances for racism, transmisia etc (including silincing .social when they don't get their shit together) and it's been a very positive experience overall, I've met so many cool people.

Or even just people you follow. I made my own mastodon instance for my photography and follow photography related tags and such so that's all it is from my point of view. I chose mastodon as that seemed to be the best way to federate to Lemmy and pixelfed from one account

The dinkus is my favourite punctuation mark! :D Although, the asterism isn't my favourite way to write a dinkus 🙃
