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.

If you wanna do it on the cheap, the most difficult part would be finding sticker paper that will reliably adhere to stone and withstand the elements.

For the rest, could you not just host an obituary on a free site like wp.com or whatever, and make a qr code with the url? Obituaries aren't a thing in my culture, so idk.

You could do some OG lithography (the litho in lithography means "stone") by masking the white or block parts of the QR code and painting on an etchant. I don't know what the best etchants for stone are, but I imagine HF-containing glass etch would do the trick. (Be very, very careful with HF.)

Instead of making the QR code point to something, you could encode the information directly. A short blurb about a person would fit.

You can laser etch/temper stainless steel to put a QR code that'd last longer than any QR code would be practical.

Heating stainless to different temperatures will make it change color enough to make a QR code.
