    there isn’t really anything stating that posts should be memes, the name is a bit misleading because it came from whitepeopletwitter, which people wanted to make more general. Any microblog post is theoretically allowed as long as it follows the rules in the sidebar. This arguably counts as brand promotion/guerilla marketing, although I think the message is divorced enough from the brand to be acceptable.

      Fuck that shit, I have news and politics subscriptions for that. There is no worse way to get info or opinions about actually important stuff than microblog.

          I looked at the current posts and nope, looks like the op just chose something shit/posted it to an inappropriate community.

            I had to do the same thing. I spend a little time each day blocking and filtering out political posts here and I really didn’t want to block this community.

          Places like the threadiverse only work if people put stuff in the appropriate place. Creating more posts doesn’t fix it when people fail to do that.

          I’m not more informed than I was before because I don’t trust anything from twatter to be anything other than paid-for propaganda. That doesn’t matter if it’s an actual meme or joke.
