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.

People who don't mainline political news genuinely don't get this.
It's literally Big Brother. This is a surveillance state telling you how to do everything.
Those people have also not read 1984 and either won't get the reference or think it's a reality show reference
ny first thought was Mussolini
I find it ironic that there's a reply about people who don't read it not getting 1984 as a reply to this. The surveillance is a minor part of 1984. It's largely about them controlling thought. They control language and the media to make it almost impossible to speak against them. "Big Brother" is the meme that gets repeated (I think because it was the only part that fit conservative thought, so they made that what 1984 is instead of it being against them), but it isn't the important lesson to be taken from it.
