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.

Exactly, I refuse to run around censoring shit, which is ultimately pointless the day they enter school anyways.

Instead I'll frame and explain things and instruct on the proper use (if applicable) when they come up, ya know being a parent lol. Censoring just teaches them to hide newly acquired knowledge if they feel my only response is going to be banning it/punishment IMO.

The only thing I might actually censor is like the worst of the worst...on a limited age based, case by case basis. I'm probably not going to let the 5 year old watch South Park for example, but if the 11 year old catches an episode or 2, meh.

Yeah definitely not "Cunt" or "Bitch", but "Fuck" and "Shit" are great 2nd grade vocab words

Don't know if you're being sarcastic but my friends and I were liberally using fuck and shit at that age.
