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

My favorite response to scammers and people ringing doorbells selling religion (scam).
The only time I've spoke with one of these (because who answers a phone anymore), was about a decade ago. Told me my insurance was expiring on my car. I started to grab my card to read the numbers and renew. This stuff wasn't widespread and well known at the time.
I had a moment of clarity and asked, "what kind of car do I have?" Line went dead. I got pretty lucky as this was long before the internet had a bajillion reports of exactly this.
I'll prolly fall for something eventually. On a long enough timeline…
