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.

They didn't until EU laws, so you can thank them for that.

Thank god that at least they made them ask. Another thing I'm massively happy for is GDPR. I keep getting mails in my inbox for all sort of random accounts I don't remember signing up for that I probably just checked out once and forgot about, asking me if they can keep my data, please, because if I don't reply then they can't, and they would REALLY REALLY LIKE TO C'MON FRIEND BE MY FRIEND

EU: require consent over nonsensitive junk data that's mostly for targeted advertising & isn't strictly to safeguard against identity fraud

Also EU: compel the risky disclosure of sensitive information for identification, propose rules to scan all your chats

We can thank them for getting privacy entirely backward.
