People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. See stickied post https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. 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 (see rule 6)

I appreciate you using xcancel instead of linking directly to Xitter but AOC said the same thing on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/aoc.bsky.social/post/3mbjqcdvqh22q

I think there are tiers.

Best: Linking to alternative platforms when someone has multiple social media accounts. Prefer Bluesky and Mastodon as the highest priority.

Better: When it's exclusive to Twitter use xcancel or nitter. You did that and I'm glad!

Worst: Linking directly to Twitter. People who directly click on a Twitter URL may be promoted to register or sign in.
