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.

Isn't Truth Social running Mastodon?
I’ve read somewhere they originally took the Mastodon server codebase, but it’s been heavily modified since and not compatible with ActivityPub.
Isn't Mastadon AGPL? So legally if that was the case they would have to share sources (if Trump cared about the law)
Yes, and they have "shared" it. After repeat requests, they sent a zip out, and it was posted here:
https://codeberg.org/TruthSocial/truth-social
Certainly out of date by now though.
I doubt they care about the law.
Of course they don't its Trump, if there was even a sliver of a chance that he could get sued he would pass a law banning copyleft liscenses and retroactively applying it to himself
Its a fork. So its the codebase which they've modified so it's the technology of mastodon but not actually mastodon. Think of it as a drink that someone has put posion in. The drink itself is harmless and maybe even healthy and nutritious but the poison changes it entirely
Yes, but without federation
Yes, that was my point
Not anymore since it violated the agpl
