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.

Proof of Stake: the one with most money is most likely to be elected.

This is misleading. Winning the validation election doesn't give you more power.

The one who is most dishonest gets their stake burned.

How is that misleading, they said nothing about power or being dishonest?

Also, proof of stake sounds like rich get richer scheme (but that was already true for proof of work for a long time)

The word elected implies power. Having more money staked doesn't give you any more abilities over a capital poor user.

Like all capitalism. An interest bearing bank account is a rich get richer scheme.

In PoS you do still have to do a bit of work for your money (hardware, power, network connection, verification).
