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.

MODERATORS
 

I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.

The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.

I'll be over on !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works.

I can't believe this! I've been feeding starlings near me with bits of Greggs baguettes and pastries.

Have I received a stone?

Have I bollocks!!

Selfish little bastards - I'm going on strike. No more will they take advantage of my altruistic nature!

I thought I was building an army of starlings! Instead I've been taken for a fool!

I hate starlings with a passion. Sorry but they are beating out a lot of my local song birds.

They've taken over a lot of niches in North America.

I don't think starlings give gifts.I could be wrong tho.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Starlings don't give presents. They just want to go for a car ride.

You should chew off some of your toenails for them. Don't be stingy.
