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.

I think people who say "I don't care, I use Linux" are really saying "You should use Linux to stop this."

I hate to be that guy, but they may not be aware of alternatives.

Im sure the receptionist in the doctors surgery cant wait to have that conversation.

Yes. And whereas if you say "You should use linux" might get you downvoted and angry responsens, just saying "I use linux" does not.
But with enough repetition the people who care enough might eventually give Linux a try on their own time.

Yeah but that misses the point.

Others SHOULD use Linux. We've been saying that for decades now and slooooowly people are learning. Stop down voting people for saying what everyone should be listening yo
