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.

Wouldn't that typically be called an enabler?
No, it would be called complying with the system that exists.
Enabling the status quo.
An individual not tipping has no impact on the status quo because the system doesn't care about the reason people don't tip.
A large number of people choosing not to purchase goods and services from businesses that rely on tipping could possibly have an impact, although it would probably be easier to get the laws changed than organize that many people.
People "organize" naturally. Theres already wide negative sentiment around tipping and especially the new places tips are asked for. We also don't fix things until they break, so preventing it from breaking is counterproductive.
We are not talking about those places. They can fuck off and I don't tip there.
We are talking about wait staff who get the exceptionally low base pay where the majority of their income is expected to be from tips.
They dont like it either they just won't bite the hand that feeds them, unsurprisingly.
sounds like the kind of argument that got Trump elected
