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
Fun Fact: The Roman Republic viewed regicide as a virtue. As I understand it, "he was trying to become king" was grounds for a justifiable homicide defense.
Yeah, even when they had Emperors the idea was so ground in that they never claimed the title of Rex.
Partly because Imperator was seen as better anyways but it was absolutely a thing.
Fun East Rome Best and Worst Rome Fact: the ERE Emperor claimed the title Basilieus basically the moment Western Rome fell. Guess what it means?
Basil eater?
