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
QR codes are a huge problem in contexts like this, because they are easy to overwrite and impossible for a human to verify the legitimacy of.
This means anyone with a sticker printer could slap a malicious QR code over the genuine one, and you won't know until you've already scanned it. This could easily take you to a clone of the restaurant's website for example, that instead steals your passwords or bank details.
