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

How's this a meme?
I'm always curious when something significantly upvoted gets removed.
I asked them if they wanted to hear a funny joke.
Then i spoilered "go fund yourself"
I did not say fund.
Ig some people found that funny, and a mod didnt.
I dont find the person I told to fund themself, to be here in good faith.
Have a nice day!!
I upvoted on principle
Not all memes are image macros or even jokes
Kilroy was here.
This is for internet memes, not cultural memes. Those are two different things and this doesn't even fit the description of a cultural meme. This is a screenshot of political opinion.
Nope, Internet memes are cultural memes
Also wrong
Which is an idea that is spreading, and thus a meme
Memes are like genes, that's why the names are like that
Cultural meme is, like you said: unit of cultural information that spreads by imitation.
Internet memes are pictures that are either funny, ironic, or relateable.
Those are two different things and this is neither. This is a screenshot of a political opinion.
Yes, and that is also a:
Sharing/Crossposting/rebloghing/etc.
very simple concept you're ailing to grasp spectacularly
Also: if you think a screenshot of an opinion from a micro log site isn't a meme GTFO microblogmemes ffs
It is not
Good catch! The fact that you're getting almost equally upvoted and douchevoted is puzzling.
