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 a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I'm about to print off about a million of those "I did that!!" stickers that the magats loved to stick on gas pumps. You better believe those things are going everywhere.

I don't want to put blame directly on individual voters, in the sense that they might be able to learn in 4 years, and "Trump did that" only addresses the symptom of the problem. "MAGA did that" sounds apt to me.

They didn't learn in 2016, why would they now?

I'm already too optimistic but perhaps a more direct awareness campaign on how climate denialism, economic isolationism and anti-immigration stances hurt themselves, their friends family and neighbors, and directly make their lives worse.

It has to be kept simple, and packaged like a low-effort meme. Anything too wordy or think-y won't go viral in the circles that need targeting.

Maybe we need some fake Facebook pages. Start by reposting crap you already know they'll share. Once the audience is there, start slowly slipping actual facts into things. It's gotta start slow, though. The "long con."

"This price brought to you by the Republican Party"

Make sure to get pictures of the prices before and after and then toss them on the products with the new price.

Just need a price with a date and an arrow that points to the current date.

I think guillotine stickers everywhere would make a point.
