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.

Yes I was merely adding to your earlier comment

Your statement does a poor job in its addition and neglects certain important nuances by being overly generalized in its phrasing.

"Not being busy" doesn't make you braindead and depressed. It is an important distinction between simply "not being busy" and "being forced into stagnation to the point it becomes hazardous to your health"

Not a native speaker and living in different culture, commenting online is always a risky game. I wish people would understand the correct undertone.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net -1 points 9 months ago

Undertones are entirely social concepts and depend on the culture of a region, and usually involve nonverbal communication in things like tons and body language to discern differences. Adding the language barrier just complicates things even more.

Most people unfortunately don't consciously consider this stuff and just assume everyone is like them.

So, as you said, commenting online is a risky game.
