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.

It means that when people advocate for improvements, YOU SHOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY PLAYING CRAB BUCKET.

Let better be better and then sure raise some issues. Your comment seems intentionally obtuse.

You're seeing a motivation behind my comment that isn't there, so you really shouldn't call me obtuse. Is Norway doing pretty good? Yes! Could they also do better? Yes! I'm not playing crab bucket, but I'm also not sticking my head in the sand here.

Maybe next time open with the "pretty good" stuff. Before this comment everything cooking was negative which sure looks like crab bucket (not just from you, but also from you) and I'm still leaning toward obtuse by omission tbh.

I'm sorry I didn't spoon feed my comment for you, mister obtuse.

I forgive you.

...your argument is that we literally should not criticize ideas until they're actually implemented and proven to be lacking? How does one establish that something is better without open critique?

I think it speaks more to who you are as a pwrson that your first reaction is to criticize an idea.

Negativity begets negativity. I choose to look for positivity and hope first, and criticize later.
