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.

It would still be transformative use, no? Grant v. Trump maybe wouldn't be as comparable when it's slop-generated for example? But I'm not good at US laws.
If being transformative was the only test copyright would be pretty toothless, you could use any copyrighted characters you want as long as you told a new story.
Non-profit, educational, research, criticism, or news reporting; those are the categories that transformative use applies most to. Though for highly creative works (like an original character e.g. Franklin) even those categories are restricted.
The biggest test though is negative market factor. If the publisher can demonstrate it could damage their brand that is enough. Frankly this seems pretty obvious in this case, who wants to read about a fascist turtle?
