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've seen a few people write "please see ID" or similar in the signature field. I've also seen many cashiers either not check the signature at all, or do so entirely performatively (IE, not trying to match the signatures or, in the case I described above, not looking closely enough to see that the payer has requested extra diligence).

Also, a lot of places I've been no longer ask for a signature under a certain cost. At one store around here, the machine prompts for a signature, but unless I proactively start it, the merchant just swipes a line across the screen with their finger.

Yep, I've seen the same on all accounts. Yet we'll be the ones that deal with any consequences that come up if anything ever happened.

At least it's easy to lock a lost card.
