People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. 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

The annoying part for me is Pi-Hole often blocks those unsubscribe links - understandably so, it's literally a link to a website operated by the exact spammers Pi-Hole is trying to block. I've started taking advantage of my email service's alias feature. Anytime a site wants my address for something, I just generate an alias address (that I can disable/delete at any time) that redirects to my regular inbox. And since the alias address typically contains the site's name, I know exactly who sold my data if I start getting spam from something I never signed up for.
