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.

in case you're serious - rawdogging in today's slang means doing something without the usual assistance. Eg. rawdogging work by not drinking coffee before it, rawdogging mental illness without taking meds, rawdogging the internet without an adblock

yes it does come from the sex

And is still used for the sex. Though in that context it's usually stated as "going in raw" or "hitting it raw"

yep, its new, additonal meaning is roughly equivalent to 'no safeguards' 'training wheels off' 'straight into the deep end' 'balls to the wall' 'EXTREME' ... yeah, doing something in a very 'hardcore' way that is much more likely to result in tragedy or pain or destruction if you don't know exactly what you're doing, because the otherwise normal or helpful safety/protection mechanisms aren't present.
