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.

Stop censoring normal fucking words. OP didn't obviously do it, why do reposters feel the need?
The image could be from somewhere else with shitty rules
It's still legible though. I think it's leas for the sake of modesty than just maximizing reach in the algorithm of whatever social media it was reposted to. An image-to-text algo would probably not register the marked word(s) to then mark the post as vulgar or 18+, and then show it to fewer people because of that. I see it all the time in posts mentioning Palestine, which started when it became apparent that those kinds of posts were being suppressed.
Along the same lines, sometimes something silly like a hair is edited into the image. I've always assumed this is to prevent it from getting caught by content-recognition algorithms, which would mark it as a repost and either remove or de-rank the content.
Seems the hate is better directed at the algorithms that make this worthwhile than the reposters frustrating those efforts to sanitize everything by putting a non-destructive mark on the content.
That's the free speach you've got over there? One naughty word having any Christian fundamentalist blush and you get cut off.
