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.

26a: Note that they will simply add more categories over time and helpfully subscribe you to each of the new ones whether you ever visit the site again or not.
Unsubscribe? You mean report spam
Unsubscribe is for real suckers only. When someone clicks that I always imagine some goon elbowing the guy next to him and saying something like, "look Keith we got another" unsubscriber" over here!" With a big goofy grin on his face.
If the email is from a legitimate business, they must have an unsubscribe button and it has to work. They get a little time before they are required to process the request, 10 days in the US, but I've usually seen it take effect immediately.
Don't click the unsubscribe button in an actual spam email.
Not sure what you mean about legitimate businesses. I don't really trust any of them anymore. Those unsubscribe pages are still full of traps and they often don't keep you off new mailings that they can say you didn't explicitly unsubscribe from because this is a new newsletter that they thought you might be interested in. If I didn't opt-in, it's spam, and I'd like to think that maybe me labeling it as such might contribute to filters picking it up for someone else too.
If you didn't ASK to receive emails from them, it's spam and it should be reported as such.
Fuck unsubscribing from things I didn't subscribe to.
Missed the step towards the end were you have to switch browser and restart the whole process because "Firefox not supported" or you've an extension that's a bit overzealous on blocking the checkout popup window.

Missing step of CAPTCHA asking you to click on motorcycle images, only for you to fail at least twice
Lifehack: Use the audio prompt CAPTCHAS and just put in ANY similar number of random words you hear. It fuzzes AI training data at same time. Works every time.
