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.

You guys need to learn what a meme is.
A meme is a thing thats shared, so this becomes a meme when it’s posted to share with others.
The hell do YOU think a meme is?
This, and exclusively this:
(I do not personally agree)
Nah, this is the only true type of meme
A continuously adapted and shaped image, text or video that gets shared relentlessly.
If something keeps getting shared unchanged, I wouldn't actually consider it a meme, only if it's altered. Otherwise I would just call it a viral post or video or something.
Actually, it's pretty hard to define a meme now that I try to think about it...
Why?
I think they were referring to this community being called microblog memes and this post kinda not being a meme per se
Memes and jokes should have a basis in reality or they'll get shit on for being dumb. I know what a meme is. This was shit 🤷♂️
If I post shitty right wing memes do I get a free pass or does it end up in the right can't meme?
Do you think people wanting privacy is somehow a political stance? Even more so, a... leftist political stance?
Do tories not mind being spied on by their everything providers? xD
