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.

We fired the art department and replaced them with an orb. It hovers about four feet off the ground and follows us around the office. Sometimes it feels like it's waiting for something. Sometimes it follows you home. Jim says it told him to dig into the dirt. It will save the company twelve dollars.

Las Vegas saw this tweet and thought "yes a giant ominous sphere in the middle of the city is a great idea.. but what if we need someway to advertise on it"

That orb is going places. If the orb says dig, you dig. In a few years it'll be in a corner office, and you want that orb to remember you well.

We shall consult the orb. The orb knows all.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The orb says you are a horrible person. We weren't even testing for that.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The orb has spoken. The orb is correct.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The orb says you are, somehow, rounder then it.

I already knew that--it's why I use Thunderbird instead!

I mean, the "car in space" thing already happened so this is the logical next step.
