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.

Just keeping you in the loop...

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

If you want access to the loop you must accept the risks and consequences

Ah maybe they mean Musk's Hyper Loop? Then I wholly understand and agree.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I’d like to not be aware of that.

Loop orthogonal

Brother, may I have some loops?

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

This is why I have a wife.

You can break free from the loop by throwing your hands up in the air and saying "not my circus, not my monkeys."

I learned IRL a little while ago that saying doesn't apparently hold the same meaning in Spanish (Tican? Argentinian?), but it still gets a laugh. The abuelas I said it around didn't elaborate and just giggled at the silly American... but maybe someone here can shed some light? 😅🤷🏼‍♂️🤪

"I want to be aware of the loop and its contents"

Thats 'in the loop' though!

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You could maybe argue that 'in the loop' implies that someone else in the loop has knowingly informed you of the loop's contents, hence bringing you 'in the loop', whereas you could be aware of the loop's contents without being intentionally informed, such as if a high ranking military official accidentally added you to a group chat you weren't supposed to know about.

Admittedly that's pretty iffy, and maybe there's not really a humorous way to convey that they want to be aware of things without others knowing what they know or being expected to act on said information.

I want the warning so I can best avoid coming in contact with the loop.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not even adjacent, please. Loop liminal; coronal; orbital, even. Just, not in the motherfucker.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Or if you go loopy, you just don't care about the loop anymore...

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

You have become loop.
