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.

  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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

One point of hope is that they mandated cross platform chat compatibility too, and every platform is just... Ignoring it and not doing it with zero consequences.

Maybe this just also won't happen.

Feeling hopeful about giant tech companies ignoring attempts to reign them in is unwise, even when it occasionally lines up with something you personally want. And I even say that as someone with permanent distrust of the big power structures doing the regulating.

Of course chat control would be practically infeasible. But it's not even about that. It's about the simple fact that the EU commission ignores the will of the people, when the people have already clearly said NO. It's about the disrespect that the EU commission exerts against the people. That in itself is unacceptable.

Don't get your hopes up. The police and secret services don't care about cross platform compatibility, but they're chomping at the bit for mass surveillance.
