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’m from the Northeast and this shit is a sport. If you don’t play along, you get a double dose.

Eh being from the Midwest but living in the north east, it’s way less common for people to talk to or about strangers loud enough to hear.

It’s a lot more Scandinavian than the Midwest, ironically.

They might live in Boston though.

Boston is like 30% tourists, and 69% college students from out of town. Unless you’re in maybe Dorchester or whatever is left of ungentrified South or East Boston.

Boston area though. I've only been a few times but I regularly work with some guys from there. They can TALK. Like endlessly. And they talk shit.

Once they know you sure. Strangers, hardly ever.
