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
Yes, that is how hypotheticals work. It's how we imagine things we don't know specific details about and try and find ways to explain them.
Hypothetically, someone that assumes a black person to be dishonest based on no evidence is a racist.
To make this less hypothetical, are you assuming the black dude is dishonest or not? Just want to know who's a hypothetical racist and who's an actual racists here.
Let's nip this in the bud here. If I like hotdogs do I automatically hate hamburgers?
Why is it you are on such a crusade to paint someone as a racist simply for making a moderate statement? This isn't a binary thing.
Further what makes what you are doing morally any better than what you are assuming the gift buyers to be doing?
You are entirely too wrapped up in this and it's not a good look, man.
I'm assuming the black dude is making a joke about all the hypersensitive people on the internet.
Something you make a good example of.
