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

As quiVadisHomines says, too, the ~~90's~~ '90s net was a simpler time; but I think that was because it was well-backed by schools and even then mostly unknown -- September Effect notwithstanding.

Is it capitalism or just the tribe-too-large problem? Both, where we're not united enough to socially correct the behaviour that would be knocked down sooner with a smaller group?

Anyway, I miss the enforced simplicity of no-images/rare-images Usenet, and how it highlighted the writing and the ideas.

It's beyond me to dream up a suitable Usenet replacement, but I know for sure that FB, IG, Lemmy, they're solving a different problem.
