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 a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

WHO IS CENSORING THE WORD "BURN" ???

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 45 points 2 weeks ago

FREAKING? FREAKING. NOT FUCKING. FREAKING. WHAT.

I initially thought it said "bitch out," meaning that the censorship made me think of a "worse" word.

edit: Also didn't realize until now that that freaking said "freaking." Again ... Censorship made things seem more extreme.

The people who know you'll engage with the post with a comment like this.

It's basically free engagement from nothing.

I suspect there's an algorithm out there on some other platform where boosting is adversely affected by any kind of negative language, and people have figured it out and try to game it with this kind of thing.
