This got reported as being not twitter or equal. I'm kind of on the fence about this. I see their point, but the original was twitter. Please tell me what you think in the comments, not just downvote or upvote. This will guide me in the future if we have any more posts like this.
Do whatever, ruleslawyering is not helpful. Is the community enjoying it? It stays. Is it detrimental? It gets removed. The "rules" should be more like guidelines to suggest to posters what type of content the intent of the community is, not what type of content is permissible.
Is someone posting vaguely in the direction of the intent of the community? That would be good enough for me.
Anyone trying to separate posts into increasingly niche communities (like the asinine dontdeadopeninside and nosafetysmokingfirst split on reddit) is not helping the community of posters and lurkers.
We need to keep the cycle going. Remove the post, so that OP can make their own fuck this I'm done post.
I don’t tend to think of wpt as specifically twitter posts. Maybe that’s how it started, but over time it has become a more generalized “screenshots of short text posts” type of thing in my mind. The “or similar” in the rules leaves a lot of ambiguity, but in my mind Twitter was always about short text posts, so any short text posts would fall under that “similar” umbrella. I wouldn’t object to seeing something from Facebook, Instagram, or Reddit being posted here as long as it was a text post and not super long, so it feels disingenuous to complain about a Lemmy post being here.
Especially since, twitter isn't even twitter anymore. And the only thing you are going to get from what twitter has become is ragebait, bots, and racism. For "whitepeopletwitter" to continue and not end up dying from lack of content, it needs to start opening up to other sources that stick with the same idea as what twitter used to supply.
I think it's the mod reason for removing that the person who reported it had a problem with.
There be some dumb motherfuckers in here.
Genocide or murder is bad is only political under fascism. That someone is sad that humanist values are not held strongly enough should not be considered political. Just because anti-human perspectives are mainstream "politics", doesn't make them real, even if you are fatigued by being reminded of them, as fake controversy.
Just post and upvote the aww so that your happiness is blissfully enhanced.
Yea I'm avoiding american polotics as much as I can as well. Otherwise, it is EVERYTHING I see online.
Let me guess, European hosted? Yeah I ditched them for their suppression of pro-Luigi speech. Fuck em.
People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
