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.

- 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.
- 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.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- 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.
- 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.

Yeah except don't put a tax on them leaving. That amounts to holding them hostage, and will eventually be used as an excuse to apply the tax to everyday people, limiting their mobility (and also their ability to leave the country if it goes rogue). Just let them leave if they really want to.
why would the tax be applied to everyday people, that's a logical leap
To avoid accusations of some kind of class war, I expect.
Difference being, of course, that this would likely be a progressive tax, like the mansion tax or income, so as to impact the "big fish" and allow movement of others.
