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.

It was never meant to stay that way. It was always:

  1. Provide great service
  2. Get big
  3. Give in to platform decay
  4. Make MONEYYY

And remember... don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!

It's still there.

Speak up? To who? The bots who've replaced all the staff?

This was 27 years ago. You're almost ready to collect a pension. Your memory has faded, and nobody believes you that this once occurred. But they pretend to listen and share your feelings and frustration. Your watch buzzes; it's time for your evening medication. As you swallow the pills, you start to question your own recollection. Surely, everyone else can't be wrong... Perhaps...

You fall asleep in your recliner as The Late Show drones on. Time passes, marching on.

28 year old here, I believe you.

I mean 27 years is like the entire history of the internet. they lasted for long.

I mean, presumably this screenshot of Google was taken before 2001, which would explain the ©1999 instead of 2000, and I remember using the homepage to check the weather when I was in highschool.

I'd love to have milk that takes years to expire.

Google plunged like Kratos in that one meme.
