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.

I tell people to ask first before calling, because it's just polite. otherwise they may not get a response

the only people who can call without notice are my boss and the owner, and even then, if you want me in a good mood and to be prepared for whatever project you're gonna ask about that I haven't thought about in months, it'll go better if you just ask if I have time to talk about xyz

some people don't get it. and those people get to sit there on the line while I bring up the project files in silence

"can I just tell you what's going on-"

"no. because then I'll have questions about your shitty description. so we're gonna wait here until I have the information open for what you're asking about so we're not playing tag later"
