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 dunno but for some reason they're on this platform too (dunno why all things considered). Go ask them.
It's either a belief things can only get worse or hate in their heart.
Like, if you get dunked on everywhere on the internet you go maybe take the hint your beliefs are generally frowned upon and may not be correct.
Orrr you could use that to strengthen your persecution complex and feed your conspiratorial thinking!
"Wow, they really are out to get me!"
But it's easy to say "it's the corrupt society that is wrong" or that social media is full of bots or commies etc, it can serve to validate their views. Like the hero in a dystopian story, they are one of the few that see the truth.
Pretty sure this is a bubble view point, look at how many right wing populists are successful in the world right now. Conservatives are not a small group and I'm sure their views are considered good and normal in many spaces.
It's valid, what you said. But the internet can also be a huuuuge asshole. I'm not excusing the awfulness that is conservativism (fucking ew furiously washes hands) by any measure; self-reflection is a requirement of a sentient human and is absent in some animals. However, one does see how an opinion from an asshole so very vast might get discounted, folded-in with the cheese of selection bias, as it were.
