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 was surprised to see Shein take off the way it did. The first and only time I ever visited that site, I thought, “For sure this has to be a scam.” The layout and design set off alarm bells in my head, like sites from earlier internet days that were guaranteed to give your computer a virus.

It was wild to find out that so many people legit shop there. But I guess I’m showing my age.

Amazing that this is the first thing I see after searching it

It looks like AliExpress' home page

I miss the old aliexpress, where the search wasn't a mangled mess of whoever's paying for top position and filters existed and worked (somewhat)

Yeah you get better results with a search engine and "site:AliExpress.com"
