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.

Ah yes, the old tolerate intolerance canard. Yeah nah, we're past that, pal.
You shouldn't be mistreated because of something you are. You shouldn't be hated because of something intrinsic to you, like being a woman, loving your own gender, being a minority, or feeling like you don't belong in your own body. You shouldn't be singled out for choices you make that don't harm others, such as what you believe or don't believe in, as long as you don't get it in your stupid head to force others to believe as you do. In short, you shouldn't be punished for who you are.
But that doesn't extend to those who choose to hate on others because they are cruel bastards who take pleasure in the pain of others. Fascists in general and Nazis in particular are the poster children for forcing others to believe as they do, and love punishing other people for who they are. Thus they are exempt from the rule 'don't punish people unless they are attacking others'...because they explicitly ARE attacking others. Since you don't get this, you're getting downvoted hard, as well you should.
Wrong. You can be intolerant without being violent. This ridiculous suggestion that if you aren't physically beating people up, then you're automatically tolerating, even advocating, their ideology, does not make any sense no matter how often you attempt this conflation.
