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.

If you plan more than what your physical or mental health allows, it may still end up like that.
I've been doing this for 10 years. I know how to work best for my physical and mental health.
I'm a stranger on the internet, I think I know what's best for you better than you do.
I'm a stranger on the internet, I enjoy inventing negative interpretations to make people look worse.
Certainly, I said that because it may not work like that for everyone.
i’d bet some big dollars that (almost) everyone who overworks and burns out does it from necessity rather than ongoing choice. i myself might have been the exception, and even still, i think few would ongoing choose to overwork.
Most I think, but there are also people who do it from self inflicted pressure. For example people who are blindly loyal to their company without realizing it will not go both ways. Or people who were convinced by their education that if they are not productive all day every day, they are wasting their lives.
but they just told you they aren’t doing that
I'm not talking about that commenter in particular, I'm talking about people in general.
