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.

In the FOSS world, I really appreciate what's happening to immutable / atomic distros like Bazzite. It feels great to have a system that "just works" while not being locked down like an Android or iPhone.

The Fediverse gives me a lot of hope too. It will probably never surpass the centralized corporate-owned sites. But, who cares? Lemmy and Mastodon are already filling a void for me. I used to spend most of my time on Reddit, and Reddit was at its best when it was significantly smaller than competitors like Digg. Digg imploding and all the Dig Dugs moving to Reddit was one step in a whole chain of events that made Reddit suck.

Proton is another game changer. I used to need a Windows desktop if I wanted to play PC games. I hated it, but I loved gaming. Now I only boot Windows once a month or so (mostly driver-related things).
