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.

I never understood banning people for speech you don't like. Wouldn't the logical and entertaining method be to put them on full display, letting themselves be mocked and ridiculed? My take is let the asshats spew their views so we all know who not to associate with.
Nha, give them as little exposure as they can get, that way they don't corrupt the minds of gullible males who are a 4 but think they deserve a 10 because they can provide.
Most of them can only provide a room in their mom's basement.
The problem is the network effect.
As other people with these views hear that kind of rhetoric more and more, they come to find it acceptable. Thus pushing even more people to find it acceptable.
This kind of rhetoric should definitely be legal, but it should not be given a platform.
Wouldn’t others with those views already find them acceptable?
This might help.
Good read. History has shown this to be very true.
It’s only a paradox if you start with the ridiculous presupposition that tolerance is a universal good.
The paradox of tolerance
That may work for normal people. Not so much for those unhinged enough to actually hate someone who has different characteristics than them. Unfortunately Twitter is filled with the unhinged.
spam is extremely powerful, and is what I would qualify most internet "speech" as being, realistically. seeing 200 different 500 character (at max) comments, that are all variations of the same exact statement isn't really like, speech, in the conventional sense.
