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.

I hate that this meme makes it sound like "can you believe we've been talking about the same thing since 1990?!" completely ignoring the Moral Majority movement of the 80s and even all censorship efforts in the decades prior to that.

Yeah, there's nothing new under the sun. These conversations are likely as old as humanity. It's an ongoing and living discussion about societal boundaries. I don't see it being "resolved" any time soon either.

What a shame that the efforts of Frank Zappa, John Denver, and Dee Snyder are all but forgotten.

Dee Snider's speech at the Senate Hearing is a fucking banger.

Kind of a dumb reason to hate it. Because it doesn't include the entire breadth of this issue?

I guess that's one way to read it, but the Simpsons is still in living memory for most people since it's still running so it's more relatable thread for people
