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.

Or is it better to remain and help the nazis?

No. Force them to fire you. Fight to stay in.

Their work is no longer helping the common good but it’s not like them hanging out in the office doing nothing would actually accomplish anything…

They are going to be given work that has clear biases to it and if they refuse to do it they get fired. By getting fired it will make it harder for them to work in vaccine research in the future. A public resignation where they can inform not just their bosses but tens of thousands of people about the deplorable status of the government and then get a job in private industry where they can continue working to progress science is a much better use of their time.

This is real life not a game and it’s not like they can install a back door into the computer system to fix everything or they can download the super secret file called “RFKs lies top secret don’t share”. Their work is being suppressed and even if they could somehow get out meaningful work it would just be ignored
