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.

Well, people you HAVE to see for professional reasons aren't your friends, and you shouldn't really care what they think about your hobbies or interests.

At school, it's different, than at work, as children/teens (including me) are generally less mature, which means most of them don't help you or inform you unless they benefit from it. TLDR: I make people think they are my friends because I'm forced to.

Okay, I understand that, and that’s fine, everyone has people like that in their lives at some point.

But if you KNOW they aren’t really your friends, why would you complain that they don’t act like they are?

You can just ignore the first part of my advice (about not spending time with them) because it doesn’t apply to this situation, but you should probably still try and find people who you can actually be friends with based on your hobbies and interests.

Well, I just don't want to be shit on for my interests. Edit: But, I'm probably overreacting to something minor, that annoys me, as usual. Well, Another edit: How should I even do this?

Okay, well don't share them with people who you KNOW aren't really your friends?

I mean, it's fine to bring them up with people who you don't consider your friends YET (because otherwise, you may never know their opinion and miss out on potential friendships), but if you get shot down or made fun of and it's clear that there is no interest, just switch topics and look for someone else to be friends with.
