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.

That's a wild amount of extra work.

yah, but think of the joyyyyy.

I wanna swap out a tap? Fix a cock? I don't have to schlep down the stairs, out the front, shut off the mains, do the work, have someone schlep out there again to turn it on while I watch for leaks.... (our house was built in the 60's. We have a lot of...interesting choices we are resolving) or be unable to do anything until an issue is resolved

Lesson was learned hard after the Galvanised Pipe incident. Covered in mud, unable fix until stores opened Monday morning, unable to shower. Angry AF about it

Oh I kinda assumed it would be outside. Now I'm imagining a plumbing breaker box 🤔😁

pretty much. But not centralised, just in...places that make sense
