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
In Tumblr culture, these hyperviolent responses aren't made at the end of a heated argument, but rather meant tongue-in-cheek.
For example, imagine one person posts "love pineapple on pizza". Then another person responds "Do not dare to put pineapple on pizza or I'll skin you!".
It expresses that the second person has strong opinions about pineapple on pizza, but hopefully everyone involved knows that it's an empty threat (because everyone is anonymous on Tumblr) and that it's not meant serious at all.
Perhaps it is banning porn that allows tumblr to let language off the leash.
Tumblr culture is all-around an assault on my senses.
