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.

That shit's never gonna take off unless they pull their head out of their ass and remember how Reddit and Tumblr attracted their users; with high-quality amateur porn.

The first sub-reddit ever created was NSFW and Tumblr basically ceased to exist once they got rid of the porn.

But, how do you incentivize people into posting high-quality amateur porn on your site for free instead of selling it on OF or Patreon?

The platform doesn't sell ads, and their decentralized nature prevents the fediverse as a whole from conducting business in any traditional sense.

But, even if it wasn't for all that, as a user, I don't have a good way to browse the available smut; I have to remember and visit each community separately, and a lot of content gets reposted. There's no way to activate a "NSFW only" mode or anything.

Don't get me started.
