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.

Screenshots, how do they work?

There are a bunch of goofballs on Lemmy and it is honestly really hard to tell who is joking on a meme or shitpost community from someone who stumbled in there all serious.

"Oh shit, what community did I post this to? Fuck it, we roll."

Yeah, I got destroyed by forgetting I wasn't in green text and said something was fake/gay to be all /s, and I was totally in the wrong community and got obliterated in the replies.

I accidentally replied to a post on womenstuff browsing all. Then I replied to OP saying sorry, realized that wait I just broke the comm rules again, and deleted all my comments in a slight panic. Oof.

If you come into a post on that community from a feed on Voyager app, there’s no immediate way to know. Yes it’s pinned, but you need to click into that community feed or sidebar to find that on mobile.

I have no problem with the rule itself, but there’s a user experience journey that causes the rule to keep getting broken unintentionally.

All to say, don’t sweat it.

Unfortunately, I have already sweated it

Everybody knows how screenshots work. The problem is social media's asinine policy of using relative times instead of absolute timestamps for some bullshit reason.

Put the blame where it belongs.

Man I remember when this started and I hated it. Now I don't think about it any more. But you made me think about it and I still hate it!

Posted 2hrs ago! What time was that locally?

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

How fast were you going?

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah I'm with you there

[–] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 17 points 1 day ago

Screenshots don't auto-update?

Nobody fucking knows. It's magic most likely.
