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.

mRNA vaccines. Net positive power output from fusion. Off the top of my head.

I agree with your concept of capitalism killing innovation and forcing people into dead-end jobs. But that doesn't mean technical innovation is dead. Just means it's not progressing optimally and not benefiting the right people.

Generative AI too. It might be hammered into everything to the point of being tiresome, but it is technologically impressive that you can have a computer just synthesise a photo/video/music.

Compare to 20 years ago. Being able to just go "Computer, create for me an original landscape painting", and have it make one would be something that you'd only find on television/in movies.
