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.

When it's a grouping that we lack the definition for, then the group doesn't really exist, even if it's members do and we all gave a good idea of what are, for instance, fish. Basically the group 'fish' contains all the things you think are fish, which is problematic as someone else may have a different idea of which things belong in the group, and while that's fine when talking coloquially, you can't really use it when trying to discuss things in a rigerous fashion.
The vast majority of language is not "rigorous". Colloquial definitions are incredibly important.
Which is fine as long as you don't try to make rigid distinctions out of your arbitrary colloquia and claim to be acting logically.
You can make distinctions based on similar "fuzzy" definitions, as long as you allow room for inevitable exceptions.
Yes.
