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 a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

MODERATORS
I fully agree, it's an idea ahead of it's time, but only because our population isn't ready. We're too flawed and stupid and emotional and superstitious, and the black pill is we always will be. We have plateaued.
I say this and get immediately met with "But they said before a century ago, they said our tech and knowledge peaked!"
And I'm not talking about our tech or our textbooks, I'm saying how much abstraction and complexity the average human can comprehend, and we're only as fast as our slowest runner. Our inherent language abilities aren't sufficient even in our smartest populations, we are still completely ruled by emotional reactions, we have brains that write stories to explain feelings and we don't question that the stories aren't logical, and then use these conclusions to write policy which corrals us even further.
We will continue to make more and more amazing tools and machines that surpass us, but we won't have a higher general level of understanding and cognition than we do now. We don't have the evolutionary pressures, and in fact our brains are generally shrinking because being smart isn't necessarily a survival tool in nature.
