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.

EDIT: apparently this is only on official server, so it's far less shitty

Regarding Fluxer, I'm not a fan of putting a price tag on functionality

I came here to share the same but have now learned that the community, non-enterprise model has a strong "copy left" licensing philosophy to ensure the FOSS code remains FOSS code. They do seem like they're doing all the right things, but I am not sure if their license means that contributors need to disclose AI generated code or not.

AFAIK you can self host for free, all features. I can understand using their server they might want you charge.

I read the whole blog-style homepage; assuming it's genuine, this guy sounds like a hard working compsci grad trying to make his coursework a breakout product so there's a necessary element of monetization planning. I think it's fine to pay for a service, rather than free but monetise the data and push ads.

The space is a massive jumble of competing ideals and desires for the replacement right now. Fluxer looks optimistically promising based on the stated desire to be as much of a reverse-engineered open source clone as possible. If that's what the majority want - a simple drop-in replacement - then it'll succeed.

I’m not 100% sure if this is the case, as I haven’t set up a server for it yet. But it seems like that pricing is mostly just for the official fluxer server? I’d be willing to bet that it really just depends on what the server admin configures
