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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Any Lemmy instances block links to X? I'd like to see less of it on here. It's just truth social with deeper pockets.

Damn that would be so cool

A good solution is to take screenshots so it only counts as one visit instead of everybody viewing the post driving traffic to Twitter.

Or better yet, Mastodon / federated microblogging platforms.

Connect on Android has a few very cool features like keyword/community/domain blocklist!

Thanks! Already use connect and haven't tried this. I'd prefer it on the instance side for greater impact, but this is nice. I already use it to block instances and communities but didn't realize it could filter links.
