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.

Their hardware options were quite competitive and were very accessible price-wise for people who wanted to experience VR. Nobody wanted to use their software, though. Grab a USB-C cable (or use Airlink), connect it to a PC, and play SteamVR games like VRchat, Pavlov VR, Into the Radius, and Half Life Alyx for a good time. Or play VRChat with worse quality textures and heavy model restrictions natively on Meta Hardware.

Nobody wanted to use Meta software, but the budget conscious really liked meta hardware (basically owning the sub-400 USD portion of the market).

Of course the privacy-conscious saw the writing on the wall and didn't opt in at all to their ecosystem.
