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.

If that post was sincere, I will eat my hat.
Reread their username
That's exactly the hard thing about satire these days, someone who would call themselves that in earnest is not beyond belief.
This particular account is specifically a satire account
That is much clearer.
I've met people like this before: I hope it's satirical, but wouldn't be shocked if it was posted in earnest.
Edit: Yes, I am now aware this particular account ia just satire.
Satire can be hard because people approach an Einsteinian ridicule limit at which point they become indistinguishable from the most blatant satire about them... But I have to take a stance on this one, he hangs a hat on it - "one of those morons". Come on!
Some people are like characters that escaped a comedy skit.
The account is entirely satirical.
Yes, I am aware now. Thanks.
My point was more that people who really think like this exist.
Who think "I'm going to say something satirical" and then say it?
No, people who earnestly say shit that sounds satirical.
Well yeah, satirists need someone to satire
Not quite what I meant but yeah, sure.
