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. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an 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 (see rule 6)

MODERATORS
I’m personally more a fan of curses of wicked inconvenience.
Eg, “May you never find the pebble pressing into the sole of your foot, even after you’ve removed your shoe and your sock”
or, “May you always run out of toilet paper when you most need it, every time, no matter where you are”
continues to fantasise about other such curses
Or just... don't curse people? Attack arguments, not people.
Some people need to be laughed out of the room.
Agreed. But that's different than cursing them. You can laugh someone out of the room by thoroughly attacking their arguments.
Nope, they are two distinct categories of response. Laughing someone out of the room is refusing to engage them with words.
No, that's what most call "cancelling."
Laughing someone out of the room is pointing out the absurdity of someone's arguments. Laughing at someone is just intolerance.
