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.

It is true that when I see something from 4chan that I don't understand, I have to approach it with the well earned assumption that it is somehow racist or fascist. This snake thing... I can't just assume it's shitposting. With 4chan it could be anything.

Sure, it might be, and this particular instance seems to be - but I find that it's best with 4chan to assume malice until shitposting is confirmed.

It's obviously a very scary snek made to scare people to death.

4chan is mostly shitposts and arguments. It’s pretty much just /pol/, /b/ and /r9k/ that cause trouble. Most other boards are fine.

And yet, if someone told you that one M&M in the bowl was poisoned, you might be leery of that bowl.
