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:
- 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.
- 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.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- 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.
- 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.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

In advance I'm sorry you're the one to receive this comment, it's not your fault, but can we please retire this joke now? It really was funny for the first ten years, but it's on literally every post even adjacently comparing something to something else now and I think we have to at least give it a break.
It's way older than the internet, mate. You're pretty much doomed to hear it at this point.
I actually agree with you, except you didn't choose the perfect example.
"But that's a living thing!" I hear someone shout. OK:
I'm not even exaggerating. This has been done in a million different ways.
Always a few guaranteed upvotes <= And that's where I throw up my hands and just let it be, apart from a downvote
Don't insult the joke with your whining
