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.

Sane people do stuff for a reason. Remove the reason, remove the action they would take.

Like for example remove pay and any sane person will stop working.

Basic needs, I.E food, water, shelter, and healthcare should be seen as rights, but past that is wants, and people will work for what they want.

In our current system we provide all of those needs, and fund it with by taxes for the people in prison, but not the innocent and poor.

Do you think that anybody who does volunteer work is insane?

Pay doesn't have to be monetary. Would you do volunteer work for building a billionaires next house? Volunteer at Amazon to pack boxes? The pay for volunteering is a satisfaction that you are doing the "right thing" and helping people/communities in need.

If it's their work - yes. If someone profits from that - hell yes.

Hobbies don't need to be paid, but work should.
