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 say "you do you" more in the sense that whatever they are doing or going to do is not something I would do. It certainly isn't a "fuck you". It can definitely have some snark like "everything you just said is fucking stupid, but you do you". But the tone is meant to convey that I'm not going to put any further effort into convincing them.
I've mostly heard it used in the sense that there exists a million ways to accomplish this and your way is as good as any other, or to convey the validity of personal preferences.
Ime mostly heard it in the context of: I would do that simple thing the correct and sensible way, but you do you.
That's how I use it, "I would never have thought of solving it like that, but I accept your way of doing it"
