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:
- 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.
- 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.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- 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.
- 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.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

That's not what I'm about. I don't care about your side hustle. I care about your interest is veering into a passion that goes a bit beyond what is acceptable in polite society.
I Don't know how far a halberd would penetrate into a 2019 GMC Yukon. That's what I'm about. That's what the world needs.
There's an xkcd hover text that really captures some of my feelings about people and their interests/passions:
This is an underlying filter for whether someone else's passion strikes me as interesting. I need a level of authenticity in the people who I interact with on any given topic.
I feel like this is the type of comment that, were it posted to one of the big sites, would've gotten reposted to the rest of them. Not unlike the original meme.
