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.

This is going to come off terribly, but do you talk to many people IRL? There's no game here, just humans being humans.
That said, perhaps not your preferred types of humans, which is perfectly fine. If anything, not engaging people the way I describe here could be a filter for the kind of people you prefer to interact with. Really isn't anything wrong with that, though others may find it a bit constrictive.
If what you're doing makes you happy and secure in your relationships with people, then more power to you!
No why the fuck would I talk to random people?
And yes, charades is a game, it's not flirting.
People don't want to be approached in public unless they are boomers or older.
Maybe you should ease up on giving advice and making proclamations on how to talk to random people then
That is how you talk to people.
You don't unless they make it clear they want to be bothered.
Sure if you are in a bar or a club that's expected, but anywhere else please ffs don't approach women.
What is how you talk to people?
Also I'm not sure how to square "unless they make it clear they want to be bothered" with your rejection of body language and subtlety.
If a woman wants to talk to you they will.
Don't try to fuck women in public.
Don't approach them.
It's as simple as that.
No one is saying to try to fuck women in public
