People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

MODERATORS
Explicit isn't so much a problem, but nuance.
Example: the right to free speech is explicit a good and pretty well irrevocable thing, however some constraints such as using a public space to promote hate, speech meant to cause mass panic or harm or similar abuses are not protected as an exception to the broad basic right.
A part of the issue with the second is the population is so fiercely militaristic (we make such a monument of our military as being the greatest of heros) and individualistic that people will twist the wording any way they like to claim they should have the right to a tank rather than to thin what is reasonable for the general population.
Then there are the folks thinking they can revolt against a tyrannical government armed with globe covering drones because they have 100 rifles in their basement, but those are more especially deluded exceptions.
