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.

Neurodivergent, certainly. But I also have a sneaking suspicion that a large majority of us are millenials. We've gone through this repeatedly in the internet age, changing chat or social platforms. We're the early adopters and eventually everybody on earth comes to crush it to death and then we rebuild somewhere else.

Generation has nothing to do with it. Tech literary does.

nothing? idk about that

And for us Gen-X/Gen-Y folks, all the Fediverse needed to do was to say "it'll be just like the Internet in the 1990s" and we were like "HELL YEAH SIGN ME UP"

Gives me BBS era / Usenet vibes, yesss

Yes! The millenials too though. We're as nostalgic (or maybe even more nostalgic) for the 90s internet because it was our entire childhoods.

Oh, yeah. I never see it used and it didn't even register. 🤦

you say that but i just saw this post about the Formulars for different kinds of rizz in my time line

[–] Tilgare@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

I already told you I'm a millennial, so you already know I am too old to understand this shit. 😂

I wish this would not have made sense to me, but I think I get what they are trying to say. Enough Internet for today, it makes me feel weird

[–] SuperUserDO@piefed.ca 2 points 1 day ago

No. It's not enough Internet.

It means your one with the Internet.

I for one however wish they had included some some weighted calculations.

Yep! I remember message boards and the glory of bb code, when DMs were called PMs and everyone knew each other's name.
