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.

  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.

tit-for-tat works in a larger setting as well, in fact it works better because you can ostracize and punish.

you know, like WHAT IS LITERALLY HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK!? do you think greed-flation just happened out of nowhere?

but no, like every libertarian, you propose the destruction of regulation because you promise yourself that somehow people will be better off if they need to waste their lives on crap. "you didn't put weeks of research into the three bio-med testing labs to ensure they wouldn't lie about the insulin, I guess you should die now, lol", and you know how I can tell you're an American? BECAUSE LITERALLY NO NE ELSE HAS THIS ISSUE. yes, this issue is entirely an American thing because you're the main drivers of the deregulation and reactionary enforcement that has lead to insulin costing you $500 for a 2-week supply, and your reaction is to make the US into more of a banana republic by destroying the goverment even more.

I didn't know that! Do you have a source?

These appear to be regarding typical 2 player prisoner's dilemmas. What I'm curious about is if there's an academic literature about this for larger groups, where they ostracize and punish.

Because if it works for them, then it can work for us... We could build unions where we signal to each other the same way, without need for central leadership.

Hey sorry to keep bugging you but where did you first hear the "greedflation" concept? If you've got a source for either (since it's pretty much the same thing) I am legit interested.
