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 a relative Lemmy newbie and have a newbie question, hope you don't mind. I access Lemmy primarily through the Sync app on Android. This community is https://lemmy.world/c/microblogmemes, yes? I checked the "about community" information about it and didn't see any mention of childfree. Is that more of an emergent aspect of the community?

I'm just an old fart trying to stay relevant and up-to-date as I can. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Communities usually have guidelines people follow but it's up to the mods to enforce them. If they don't think a certain meme is bad or worth removing then they'll just let it exist even if it's not specified in the community. With that in mind, the other guy could have just ignored the community or the user instead of complaining.

So by that rationale you basically shouldn't comment on a meme you think doesn't really work or you have an opinion on? If that's the case so be it, but it seems mildly oppressive and totally boring.

Yes that's exactly what I meant by my original response to the other guy. You've captured my intent completely, bravo.

It's just this one post.

A lot of people are commenting on this post, but it's not a trend or anything
