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'm all for letting kids swear, but only if they do so correctly in a sentence and in the correct context. There's no reason it should be a big fucking deal.

i'm so glad this is the norm in most of the nordics, kids swearing is no different than them shouting "TURD" at random, they're learning how words work.

Hiding words from them is completely fucking pointless and just results in issues, it's so much easier to simply correct their usage of words and teaching by example.

You've clearly never met a 2 year old. About a month ago I accidentally let a "fuck" slip out of frustration, and just the other day he was walking up the stairs gleefully spouting "fuck, fuck, fuck" at every step.
