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.

"Markets" do not represent human reality.

I have just stopped participating in society. I just gotta make it like another 25 30 years.

"Journalism is better when it's backed by live markets" is some grade A dystopian bullshit 🤦😬

I'm surprised they didn't jam in some AI or crypto or other crap that has absolutely nothing to do with journalism.

Substack has journalism now? I though it was some blog for self important assholes.

Polymarket really believes they make reality, don't they?

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's wild.

They act like they're some sort of revolutionary industry, but what do they actually produce?

Nothing.

They don't make anything. What they do, is move money from those who are wrong, to those who are right, while significantly disrupting reality by involving financial incentives where they have no business being.

For even greater accuracy, swap out wrong with dumb and right with lucky.

Cool, now I can get my Nazi newsletters AND the over/under for make-believe bets all in one dumpster!

[–] jack_of_sandwich@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 hours ago

Don't forget to bet on how many views your post is going to get!
