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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Isn't Mastadon more a loose conglomeration of independent self-hosted instances? Sort of the Lemmy to Twitter's Reddit? Might be good to cite a few high quality Mastadon instances than just point people to "Mastadon" as a generic source.
Also should note that there's still the Garbage-In / Garbage-Out problem. Mastadon is only as good as its user base. Twitter's admin went from bad to nightmarish under Elon, but it was still choke full of annoying, manipulative bullshit. Mastadon has all the same problems, just on a smaller scale because of its lighter userbase. Get the environment up to 400M users and you're going to see the exact same basket of incentives for manipulation and abuse.
Hell, just look at Threads. Same exact problems, just skewed towards Facebook friendly corporate influencers rather than Twitter friendly Groypers.
