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.

A slur? Why?

Who cares what people want to do with their money.

Buy once cry once.

Be advised, for anything that requires preference or tuning "buy once cry once" is totally fallacious. The most expensive anything is not guaranteed to be the thing that suits you best. Still don't need a slur, but you don't walk into a clothing store and just buy the most expensive things. You have to put in some time and develop some preference before it makes sense to spend hard.

Now if you're just buying an angle grinder, sure, whatever buy the pricey one: it is probably made better.

I’m not sure I’d call buying clothes a hobby but I understand what you’re saying.
