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.

“You are part of a vast conspiracy in which some people are singled out to have nothing, for no reason.”

You've picked the very opposite of the motivations involved, hence got an obviously senseless result: feed the logic chain with garbage and you naturally get garbage out such as "conspiracies to make people poor"

Nobody has the objective of having others have nothing, rather their objective is to have as much as possible themselves and for some, maybe many, others having nothing is just "an irrelevant side-effect".

People who want to have as much as possible will of course join forces with like minded individuals if that furthers said objective. It's the most natural thing in the world, done totally in the open within Capitalist societies and requiring no "conspiracy".

Do I have to point to the sign?

This is a meme community.

/me commenting in a meme community and some rando, who after making a meme-shaped dumb argument doesn't like the response and goes for gate keeping, claiming meme communities work the same as poetry communities were even the comments have to rime
