People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  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. 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.
  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 (see rule 6)

I'm a millennial and I strongly prefer editing. It's much easier on the recipient not to have to cross-reference your correction with your message, and it usually doesn't result in a separate notification ping.

Notification ping? You guys don't keep your phone on silent?

You just outed yourself as a boomer ๐Ÿ˜‚

My phone vibrates for text messages, but even if it doesn't there's no need for two notifications in the tray if a simple edit is possible.

Also I'm talking about the recipient, not myself. I don't know what their settings are necessarily.

I prefer editing if and only if the recipient can see the edit history.
