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.

The first question is legit - the second one is on you, either by subscribing to this community or by not filtering your feed and browsing /all.

I don't know if you are aware, but your tone comes across as overtly hostile and dismissive; if it's not intended i suggest trying to word your inquiries less harsh.

I think you're correct, I've been overly cynical the past week due to stresses and I'm not good with stress.

Its natural that we react with aggression (or flight or freeze) when under pressure. Our monkey brains translate modern life all too easily into a mortal threat. And to be honest, my own brain translates a medium filled train car into the equivalent of a stampede, so i've been there more often than i'm comfortable with. No harm done; in the end, it's just a internet forum.

Take care of yourself, ok?

Hey, kudos on you for admitting it instead of continuing with the hostile tone. Self reflection like this should be more common, I think it would defuse a lot of tense situations.
