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.

  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.

I'm going to go in a different direction from the other reply thread and say that I don't give a fuck what the original quote was or the original intent. Just because a saying is famous doesn't mean the original version of it had all the wisdom, or any at all.

The customer is right in knowing what they want and are willing to spend money on, even if it's stupid, because ultimately they decide whether or not they will spend that money. That doesn't mean they are worth dealing with.

Personally, I would rather spend money at a business that "fires" their shitty customers, from line jumpers (was just at an amusement park that actually dealt with two different sets of line jumpers while I was there and it was glorious) to those that harass people that probably agree with them but don't make the rules.
