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.

Unless you have an Epstein Drive. (No pun intended, it's really called that. I'm sure the authors weren't aware of future implications.) Anyhow, when some hard SciFi fans asked them how fast the Epstein drive is, they answered "really, really fast".
Not really. It's still a fusion drive with ridiculously low fuel use, so functions in real space. That means it can't go faster than light speed. With 1G acceleration and a flip and burn, the max speed is 0.95 light speed.
You know, I think they actually said that. The Expanse is one of the few near-future solar-system-only SciFi I really like. I should have gone with Iain M Banks I guess.
My point: it's fiction. It can be as fast as you need it to be.
