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.

I appreciated reddit very very narrowly, and entirely because every time I had a problem, the internet search result for said problem would be a reddit post with the solution. . Which isnt even true anymore, between people having scrambled posts before deleting accounts, and just the passage of time, and due to the friendly, helpful people disappearing.
beyond that interaction with reddit, it was a festering shitpile of hatred, bigotry, and pedophilia, and it continues to amaze me how it maintained such a popular position.
I miss having a place with niche communities that were active due to the sheer size of reddit. It's very hard to get one going here - especially with the fragmentation of instances. Want to talk scuba diving? Do you go to the scuba community on .world or on .ml or what?
The community with the most posts last had a post 11 months ago. The one with the most users hasn't had one in a year.
Being Lemmy, that post wasn't really even about diving, but was about about Linus Torvalds making a FOSS dive logging app, because of course it fucking was.
Yeah I agree with all of that. Used to be that Reddit was the place to go to get questions answered... That time is long gone now.
now the place to get questions answered is discord.
Where the answers are now locked away, never to be found, archived, or otherwise made wildly available unless you specifically find that specific discord that contains it by pure happenstance and luck,.. and for it all to disappear when the discord shuts down, Or someone just decides to delete their post, lost forever, never to be seen again.
God I miss web forums.
