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:
- 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.
- 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.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- 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.
- 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.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

People abbreviating random words when there's literally no need to.
I got absurdly upset over someone abbreviating information as "inf." recently.
watch out for infosec.
I'm trying to figure out what you're even referring to. The only thing I see abbrebiated here is TV. But TV is the default way to say television even in person and has been my entire life. At least it is here in the US. Is it different elsewhere?
I was responding to the "What's the most boomer complaint you have?" - not complaining specifically about the abbreviations in the screenshot.
Ah. That makes way more sense.
I feel like some people are just too lazy to speak.
People making contractions when there is literally no need to.
I known'nt what you mean.
