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.

Harm reduction. If forced into a binary choice, I’d rather lose a finger than lose a hand.

At some point, you will run out of fingers...

[–] s@piefed.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Some of y’all are taking this analogy too far and missing the point

Sure, but at some point ya gotta think, "Maybe I should destroy the de-limbing machine," instead of continuing to put part of your body in there.

(This isn't a criticism of you or your beliefs, just a jokey perspective.)

Sure, if you have any control over the situation.

Democrats are organizing for the midterms. Add your voice somewhere it counts. The opinions of volunteers and contributors have much more influence than nihilistic comments on an internet chat board

I don't live in the US. I wouldn't say it's a Nihilistic comment to suggest fixing the system, though.
