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
When people get scammed in traditional currency, you can revert the transaction. You cannot revert anything with blockchain, and that's a feature, which means if you get scammed out of your bitcoin, there's nothing you can do. That money is lost, and the scammer keeps it.
Also, when I try to scam someone using my bankaccount, my bank goes "Uhhh, please show us that this isn't a scam". My bitcoin wallet doesn't care.
And if you get scammed out of cash by another person how will the government step in to revert it? Theft happens every day. You are talking about banking, you are not talking about money. They are not the same thing.
