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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

What did happen is him removing a video where he said he was explaining how he made something that tasted like "parmesan" and the Parmesan lawyers sent him a cease and desist letter

Wait, Parmesan is trademarked???

[–] wieson@feddit.org 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Region locked. Parmigiano reggiano can only be produced in the city of Parma and the region around it (see the name).

[–] mrunicornman@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

You can produce whatever you want. You just can't market or sell it under that name.

[–] scrion@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Not so much trademarked, but having a protected origin:

I'm pretty sure it was actually Grana Padano.

Yup. Grana Padano.

edit: honestly, fuck PDOs. Or as Australia calls them, GIs (geographical indications) and CTMs (certification trade marks). They're such utter bullshit. I don't know whether they actually had legal legs to stand on with him calling it "Grana Padano–style", or if the "style" puts him legally in the clear. It's bullshit either way, but it's extra bullshit if even adding the "style" doesn't clear it.
