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.

MODERATORS
People have developed their habits from posting to popular social sites that have heavy handed moderation or word filters. I've known a lot of people who have some really creatively worded insults to get around Call of Duty's ridiculous word filter for example.
It fucking sucks though, and I love that the fediverse doesn't seem to care about profanity at all. Maybe there is an instance or two, but I haven't run across any.
I understand, was just trying to shoehorn the 7 words into a semi-satirical post.
Still, sucks that the response to censorship is to capitulate in advance. I’m all for creative insults for the sake of being creative but it’s way beyond that right now.
I am known to be rather stubborn though, so my instinct in such situations is to get even mouthier.
If I could and wanted to post on Reddit, I would post nothing without it being corrected by an AI, and designed to follownall the rules.
