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.

Seems likely to get you shot, tbh. 2020 was a bit different.
Yeah. They're gonna say they thought you were carrying a gun and it was self defense.
Easily mistakable for a 3D printed hand canon, ming dynasty 15th century model
Anything might get you shot at this point.
Carrying something that's easier to mistake for a gun, that'll get you shot quicker
No way in hell is a leaf blower easier to mistake for a gun than, for example, having your hands in your pocket. At least with this they know where your hands are.
This isn't to say you won't get shot, but that argument would be a bad one.
