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:
- 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 a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

You know the paradox of tolerance? The idea that if you believe in tolerance, then you have to be intolerant of intolerance.
I think this general concept is applicable in many areas. Like, it makes sense to be nonviolent except in preventing more violence.
And in this case, we should all make a giant conspiracy to destroy the places where conspiracy theorists talk to each other.
The paradox disappears the moment, you handle tolerance differently.
Handle it like a social contract that everyone is automatically part of. All are tolerated until they stop tolerating people who are also part of the contract.
Whoever stops tolerating people who are part of the contract loses their "being tolerated privileges".
