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.

Posts like this spread quickly, so it’s always worth double-checking sources before reacting. Big claims deserve solid evidence, especially when they involve serious accusations.

One commenter on this very thread has already said their brother who lives there told them the same thing.

So. Uh. Does that work, or - ? You need video or - ? What’s the threshold here where it goes from random xitter post to Actual Fucked Up Thing? I mean, I copied this from another blog, so to your point yeah I dunno if it’s real but I DO know that if it is real it’s damned sure not going to appear in the NYT or CBS News either.

We’re without journalism now. It’s, like, dead dead. Mostly.
