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.

I have two friends that work in tech, and I keep trying to tell them this. And they use it solely now: it’s both their google, and their research tool. I admit, at first I found it useful, until it kept being wrong. Either it doesn’t know the better/best way to do something that is common knowledge to a 15 year tech, while confidently presenting mediocre or incorrect steps. Or it makes up steps, menus, or dialog boxes that have never existed, or are from another system.
I only trust it for writing pattern tasks: example, take this stream of conscious writing and structure it by X. But for information. Unless I’m manually feeding it attachments to find patterns in my good data— no way.
