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

MODERATORS
I was hoping not to have to say this, but generally speaking I don't think retail workers are the ones going viral on social media. Whether it's writing skills or editing skills, socioeconomically downwardly mobile media employees are more likely to drive that side of the culture war.
Doesn't mean the plight of the working poor in retail and other service work isn't real, but I'd expect that to be more "quiet desperation" than "viral on Bluesky".
Why wouldn't people capable of more end up as retail workers? Do you think there's a special job reserved for them when they're born and they just choose not to do it?
