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. 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.
  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

I think either "to" or "on" would be acceptable in that context. English likes to use "to" with attention, like in the phrases "pay attention to" or "draw attention to", often emphasizing the change in focus. But you can also keep your attention "on" something.

As a native English speaker from the US east coast, I would probably have chosen "on". Just sounds better to me to use "on" instead of "to" when there is no associated verb like "pay" or "draw". Not sure why.
