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.

I remember it! Macromedia Flash sucked ass.

No, Flash was a proprietary platform for animated content before the modern web standards. You're thinking of the MP3 player.

Edit: Clearly a poor attempt at setting up someone to reply with "no you're thinking of Winamp, ..."

I’m not sure if you’re being funny and I’m not getting it. Macromedia were the original developers of various web products. Flash and Dreamweaver for example. They were acquired by Adobe and it was renamed to Adobe Flash.

They’re talking about the same Flash you are.

Flash itself was junk. People made some amazing things with it, though.

Was there an MP3 player named Flash? TIL
