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.

They said it'd even work if the text was substantially edited by the user, though. Maybe there's multiple layers of redundancy so it just degrades the watermark but it takes a lot of editing to completely dilute it.

I can't think of any pattern that is supposed to survive edits that wouldn't create a ton of false positives in existing works.

So an average AI and plagiarism detector that already exists.

I think the first person was right. It's probably just a pattern based on this part:

It may also survive certain edits. However, the company warned that extensive rewriting, paraphrasing, translation, or mixing the content with human-written material could weaken or remove the detectable signal.
