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.

MODERATORS
hypothesis: more than 90% of Tumblr screenshots can be made funnier by removing the last captured reply
hypothesis: it does not work recursively
It does if you follow through to the end. There may be local minima on the way.
mother of god, you were right
Hypothesis regarding recursion: see Recursion Hypothesis
In this case I think having "no notes" and then "104,574 notes" adds a little bonus giggle at the end.
hypothesis: the last reply is usually left there to stop hundreds of people replying that exact same thing below.
On reddit there was r/comedyhomicide for these cases where someone felt the need to tack on a random reaction to something funny. As if the viewer needs to be guided to what their reaction should be. It always reminded me of a laugh track.
