Showing Original Post only (View all)OK, what is the group concensus on posting Tweets here? Depends on the author? Don't do it regardless of the author? [View all]
I've been on DU since 2013, but have also been on an extended absence, until a month or so ago. I've been posting daily again. Earlier today, someone made a remark in one of my threads about tweets not being welcome. So, I thought I'd do a temperature test. For the record, my original post didn't include a tweet. It was me saying I didn't intend to do a blow-by-blow of the Trump & Musk feud. SO:
1). A lot of people I follow, like Aaron Rupar, are on Bluesky now, but also still on Twitter. Is DU, on average, opposed to tweets simply because they come from Musk's Twitter, or do they just not want to see Musk's propaganda here (which I wouldn't post anyway)?
2). If there is a wholesale mass objection to tweets, with the caveat above (ONLY people who are NOT pushing "Republican Talking Points), is it because Musk owns the site and has turned it into a MAGAt cesspool? I ask this because there are people like Chris Meloni fromthe "Law & Order" shows who posts regularly, and he's about as anti-Trump and anti-Musk as you're ever going to find.
Like I said, been gone for a while, came back recently, have always done my best to peacefully co-exist here and not do things that would tick people off, but I need to understand the general attitude toward Twitter before I continue. Thanks.
